Why is Povetkin vs Rahman on the undercard of a British show? Seems random.

Maybe they're setting up the winner of Haye-Chisora vs the winner of Povetkin-Rahman?

Can't think of any other reason. Unless Povetkin is signed to Warren?

After such a hot strong fast start to Povetkin career he has been a huge disappointment as of late.

Rahman? Really?

Wouldn't mind seeing the Haye-Chisora winner fight the Povetkin-Rahman winner in December.

Povetkin's manager and Warren are good friends. The manager also has Lebedev who Warren promotes.

I got a reply from the great BIGPOPPAPUMP.

I feel honoured.

I agree about Povetkin, but I'm pretty sure Rahman is a mandatory (although nobody seems to know how the **** that happened).

Mandatory lol Oh WBA.

Don King must have the WBA president on video getting blown by a ****** or something looking at the endless undeserving title shots he has got his fighters in that org through the years with Ruiz, Rahman and Haye and Valuev when he had a piece of them.

I'm the next mando for Povetikin if Rahman fails.... I'm 0-0 in the heavyweight division
