Thompson vs. Klitschko set for July 12

[The Hammer]

So the IBF president said Wlad has until November to fight Povetkin. This is good news.

It's good that Wlad will be fighting three times this year instead of twice (as he has the past few years).

like a couple people have already stated, this was all a money ploy by team povetkin. when november comes around and its actually his turn he will find a way out of the klitschko fight

Perhaps. Who knows what might happen by then.

One thing is for sure, if he is going to fight Wladimir, he should take a "stay active" fight, maybe with a tall orthodox fighter to help him prepare.
