A month later the WBC reiterated this point. Negotiations must take place in October. If they come to an agreement a purse bid will be held in November and the fight in January. At this time Povetkin said he might take a break from boxing and wait for the negotiation period.

A week after he schedules his fight with Wach, and three days after Wilder schedules his fight with Duhaupas, Povetkin said he's wants Wilder now and he's disappointed the fight is subject to rescheduling. The negotiations were pushed back from October because Povetkin scheduled a fight for November Povetkin's promoter said the Wach fight was to get Povetkin ready for Wilder http://www.boxingscene.com/promoter-...-wilder--94997

On the night of the Povetkin fight a representative from Povetkin's camp informed the WBC that he won't be ready for the fight in January. He'll be ready around April or May. The WBC approved another voluntary for Wilder in January, the time Wilder/Povetkin fight was to take place originally stated back in June.

Five days after telling the WBC Povetkin won't be ready until April or May, Povetkin's promoter comes out and claims Wilder is ducking Povetkin because he as granted another voluntary in January. The original date Povetkin and Wilder were supposed to fight! He also pushes the date back from April or May to "summertime".

Thirteen days after telling the WBC they won't be ready for the January fight, and the WBC granting Wilder another voluntary, Povetkin's trainer comes out and said that they're ready for Wilder NOW!!!

This is why the fight hasn't happened. I have other su****ions why the Povetkin team is delaying. It's a big scandal in Russia.

If Povetkin was in a rush to face Wilder, the fight would be happening next. When the WBC orders negotiations to begin in October and before October rolls around you schedule a fight for November 4, clearly you're not in a rush to get your mandatory shot.

Exactly. I don't understand why people keep claiming Wilder is ducking Povetkin. All the articles I linked are from boxingscene. Why are boxingscene users still saying he's ducking Povetkin when the articles on this site proves otherwise?

Povetkin said he wasnt ready and therefore backed out of fight. Everyone knows this but its Wilder/Haymon/PBC

Be honest, now.

Povetkin took the fight with Wach only because Wilder demanded the voluntary fight with Duhaupas. He didn't want to be inactive too many months.

After Povetkin beat Wach, the pampered, over-protected Wilder demanded ANOTHER voluntary.

Wilder is afraid to fight Povetkin, and is waiting for him to get a bit older.

Povetkins team is full of ****..did the same thing with Wlad,even skipped a press conference and cancelled the fight

Nothing you said is true. I can't understand how you can read what I posted and turn around and say the exact opposite. Wilder didn't want to be inactive because Povetkin said he's going to wait until negotiations begin in OCTOBER! Then he turned around and scheduled a fight with Wach in NOVEMBER! After that Wilder scheduled his fight with Duhaupas in SEPTEMBER! Before the Povetkin/Wach fight Povetkin's team told the WBC he won't be ready for their January fight. He'll be ready in April or May. That's why the WBC granted Wilder another voluntary.

I understand you might not like Wilder but your personal opinions don't change the truth.

Povetkin didn't choose the date, it was the day of a big event in Russia with several world title fight. BUT THE ONLY REASON POVETKIN FOUGHT WACH IS THAT WILDER DEMANDED A SECOND VOLUNTARY AFTER MOLINA AGAINST DUHAUPAS.

Povetkin fought Wach in early November, the craven Wilder is using this as an excuse to avoid him. Povetkin would be ready for February or March, except the pampered Wilder wants another THIRD voluntary in January to delay it several months longer.

For me Povetkin doesn't need to hold that title his resume is much better than Fury and Wilders.
