Na when you win it is irrelevant, that's why Tyson Fury had it stripped one week after he won it, because he wasn't fighting his mandatory next (Glazkov) or a unification (Wilder). Instead choosing to fight Klitschko again.
I don't see why he can't fight early November then mid-late January. That is in line with both of their schedules of every few months. Both are very active.
And he could fight Takam if he stays in the rankings as a voluntary, but he won't as coming off a loss it won't make money. Business first, sport second.
