- Fabio Wardley said he will offer Tyson Fury a title shot if he retains his belt, after Fury’s April 11 comeback against Arslanbek Makhmudov.
- Wardley reiterated that Oleksandr Usyk vacating the WBO belt denied him a traditional crowning moment and said a misengraved belt was replaced by the WBO.
