The winner of Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua’s huge meeting should be ordered to face WBA ‘regular’ champion Murat Gassiev.That is the view of American former world champion Paulie Malignaggi, who believes the Russian has been hard done by.The WBA decided to sanction Fury vs Joshua for their ‘super’ title, which has annoyed many in the boxing communityGettyGassiev won the WBA title against Kubrat Pulev and after Oleksandr Usyk vacated the title, it was believed that he was the rightful world champion.But it was announced that the WBA would instead put the ‘super’ title on the line for Fury and Joshua’s showdown on December 11.Malignaggi told talkSPORT.com he believes it was the wrong decision by the governing body, and wants Gassiev’s challenge to be enforced immediately afterwards.He explained: “Yeah, I wasn’t crazy about that. I think it’s a bit of a political move by the WBA. “I think Murat Gassiev was the one who deserves to be upped. I’ve seen that it’s sort of the move that WBA makes in the past.“So to just skip by Gassiev and make the WBA title fight, which now is the super title is unfair.“But politics play these roles in boxing and money talks and bull***t walks. as they say. “So unfortunately, I think Murat Gassiev is being done wrong here because I think he should be the guy to be upped and in the very least have dibs on the winner. “They should enforce that, but I somehow got a feeling that they’re not going to do that.”Gassiev initially appealed to the WBA but an official ruling has yet to be made.It has annoyed no-one more than Gassiev who believed he was the WBA’s championGettyHowever he told talkSPORT.com that he wants to face the winner in 2027, as Malignaggi has requested.What is at stake for Fury vs Joshua?Of course the addition of a world title brings added stakes to an already intense rivalry, spanning ten years.Both Joshua and Fury aren’t in their richest veins of form and are at the back end of their careers.However bragging rights combined with potential unification fights in the future seems a big opportunity for the heavyweight pair.A fight with Daniel Dubois appears to be in the making for either operator, with Joshua already keen on a rematch.Fury has one more fight remaining on his deal with Saudi chief Turki Alalshikh.Watch Boxing on DAZN*If you click a link in this boxout, we will earn affiliate revenueSign up to DAZN to access the definitive subscription for boxing fans.Upgrade to DAZN Ultimate from just £24.99/month, guaranteeing access to 185+ fights annually, a minimum of 12 pay-per-views at no extra cost, as well as every Lega Serie A match and other elite football access.Alternatively, DAZN Standard is just £15.99/month, with the caveat you will have to pay for pay-per-view events.Click here to sign up.And he has suggested should he win, he may even look to sign a new deal with no plans to retire imminently.
