He's very lucky to have an early January date.
Last year he fought 3 times and while it kept him busy, it just simply wasn't enough to put him where he needs to be in terms of recognition.
He needs to do what Donaire did in 2012 and fight maybe 2 elite fighters and 2 solid defenses against contenders. One of those fights should obviously include Povetkin, that is of course if Povetkin doesn't run away from the challenge altogether. This could lead to a showdown with Fury early next year or maybe even late this year if Fury wins the rematch against the Klit.
