Usyk named mandatory to Ruiz JR for the WBO. I'd say Whyte is going mental.

Usyk had a fight with Takam lined up but got injured and had to bail.Usyk needs to get a tune up fight get him on the bill with AJ and Ruiz Jnr 2 as he will need a fight hasnt boxed in a over 7 months you dont want to be waiting for the AJ V Ruiz winner just go in and get rid of that ring rust. Him v White would be a good scrap and I fill Usyk would beat Whyte if they were to fight.
It's in the WBO rules that if a fighter vacates their belt and moves up in weightclass they are installed as the mandatory challenger at that higher weight
This is discretionary for Super Champions, and Ruiz is still allowed to fight Whyte or anyone else in the top 15 next if he fights Usyk within the year.
I doubt Ruiz will fight either anytime soon.
