If Haye beats Wlad...

[PittyPat]

... then who has to face Povetkin in September? Is the latter a mandatory for Wlad specifically, or just whoever happens to be the beltholder? But him getting a shot at the champ (if Haye were to win) wouldn't make sense, since Haye has to face Vitali and Wlad either this year or next.

It's kinda confusing me. Obviously Wlad would face Povetkin in September if he wins, but what's the deal if he doesn't? Where does it leave Povs...?

Povetkin fights the winner of Dimentrenko/Chambers then or maybe Vitali...

[PittyPat]

or maybe Vitali...

But wasn't he a challenger for one of Wlad's belts, last December - and hence carried that over to this September?

[Bigdaddy_Vh]

he is the IBF mandatory...but because of the deal that Haye made with K2...if he wins he would have to make a deal with the IBF and povetkin(which haye would not do) to wait OR(the most likely scenerio) Haye would just vacate the belt and Povetkin would fight the next highest rated challenger available for that belt. Damn the organizational bodies...damn them to hell

I think they'll be much bigger issues at stake if Haye wins. A substantial number of boxingscene members will have to be put on suicide watch...

That is confusing as hell... At first I thought Haye was only fighting for the WBO and IBO belts, with Povetkin still getting an IBF match with Wlad later this year - meanwhile Haye and Vitali would be squaring off at around the same time (if in the case of Haye winning).

Now I'm even more confused. Screw these belts. I need to stop acknowledging their existence.

Haye won't win so it'll be Wlad battering Povetkin lol.
