Usyk would be mandatory to Joshua if he moves up as he's a WBO super champ.
But with the Povetkin fight now becoming a WBO mandatory as well as an WBA one, and the fact that Joshua himself is being bumped up to super champ status, then Joshua won't have to face another WBO mandatory after Povetkin until March 2020.
I think that's the gist of the WBO situation anyhow.
That said, I think Usyk would be a fight they'd like.
