Let the Games begin! Alexander Povetkin and Chris Byrd will kick off the IBF elimination tournament on October 27 when they come face-to-face in Erfurt, Germany. The winner will move on to fight either Calvin Brock or Eddie Chambers for the right to challenge IBF heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko. The IBF has launched a four-way battle to determine the Ukrainian's next mandatory challenger, and Povetkin is convinced it will be him who will succeed. "I am just two wins shy of my dream to fight for the world title," the 2004 Olympic gold medal winner said. "I have been working hard in practice and will defeat Byrd no matter what. I will not allow him or anyone else to stand in my way." [details]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I remember him saying something to the tune of 'Wlad's got my number and I could never figure him out' right after losing to him for the second time...
Klitschko is literally a danger to that man's health and well being; he'd be ****** to risk it again...
