A couple of months ago, we heard he had a new trainer in Teddy Atlas and he was going to take a warm-up fight in September, before fighting Wladimir Klitschko.
But there's been no fight scheduled, and there have been no reports of any discussions going on between Povetkin and possible opponents.
It was suggested he might fight for an interim title, but the IBF doesn't do interim titles as far as I know. Someone suggested he might fight Maskaev, but I've never read anything about discussions going on.
So why doesn't he have his warm-up fight scheduled by now? Where is Povetkin?
