Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Oleksandr Usyk\u2019s immediate rematch with Tyson Fury, could mean the IBF belt is stripped away from the undisputed champion.<\/p>\n

The Ukrainian boxer beat Fury last Saturday, to unify the WBC, WBA, WBO and IBF heavyweight titles.<\/p>\n

However, he will only reign supreme for a short spell, because one of boxing\u2019s governing bodies is likely to strip away a title.<\/p>\n

This is because the IBF mandatory title challenger, Filip Hrgovic, has been waiting for his own title fight.<\/p>\n

Hrgovic\u2019s upcoming bout against Daniel Dubois could be for the vacant IBF belt on June 1.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s [Usyk] done something no one else has done. He\u2019s unified the four belts.<\/p>\n

\u201cFour belts on the line is the start. I\u2019m quite sure they\u2019ll fragment after that. And then it\u2019ll happen again,\u201d Frank Warren, who promotes Fury and Dubois, told Sky Sports.<\/p>\n
