The between Fury and Chisora hasn't been named a final box off has it ? I am sceptical it will.

I hope Wladimir pursues Pulev, then tries to make a unification fight with the winner of Arreola vs. Stiverne in the fall. If he fails, the winner of Fury vs. Chisora is good alternative.

Tbf,Wladimir has already said he intents to face Pulev in the late summer,he will be a hugely marketable name in Germany,much bigger than Pianeta and that one sold well.Wlad knows Pulev has waited long enough,if not too long,but obviously certain aspects were beyond both their control,with other mandatories and Pulev's struggle to get anyone willing to share a ring with him.
I really wanna see Wlad vs Arreola, I know Cris is gonna be hard pushed to beat Stiverne alone,but I'm certain it'd be a much more entertaining fight between him and Wlad.obviously it isn't no secret I'm an Arreola fan between us either,but I see a Stiverne vs Wlad fight being an awful fight to make with Don King involved.we all know had it not been for King,We'd have seen Vitali versus Valuev.
Although the WBC winner has 2 back 2 back mandatories,and also looking at the WBC's stance on unifications,would they allow a unification ? Surely they wouldn't stand against it,with Wladimir's brother having such a strong bond with the WBC,surely they wouldn't block a unification.
I really wanna see Wlad unify at the earliest opportunity,that said though I don't wanna see Pulev sat around having to wait any longer,surely the most admirable thing for Wlad to do would be fulfil his obligation to Pulev before pursuing the WBC belt.I hope he doesn't try to mess Pulev around,I would lose a certain amount of respect for him.
Yeh Fury or Chisora are a great and exciting match up both for Wlad.though even should it be named a final eliminator which I have serious reservations over,Fury or Chisora would be waiting a full year from Wlad's last wbo mandated fight,which is obviously this month ! I don't see the WBO naming this fight a final eliminator,maybe a semi with one of the Sauerland boys named too,possibly Helenius versus Hammer.
You me mention Fish Eyes holds sway with the wbo,I don't doubt that for a second,he clearly has them in his pocket at times,yet Sauerland too also have a more than friendly relationship too.
Whomever wins Fury or Chisora they'd have nearly 9 months at least sat around waitin on Wlad,I don't see Wlad hurrying for either of them,both have disrespected him,Chisora with the antics,and Fury telling the lies like Steve Bunce regarding Manny Steward.i know it's a little off topic but did you know Steve Bunce was rejected entry into the Austrian training camp last year.
