    So who will be Waldimir Klitschko's voluntary opponent?

    Wladimir Klitschko will likely be fighting a voluntary opponent, possibly on April 6.

    I know who it WON'T be:

    Vitali Klitschko (won't fight his brother)
    Fres Oquendo (not being considered)
    Tomasz Adamek (not being considered, I don't know why)
    Odlanier Solis (talks broke down)

    Bryant Jennings (promoter said no)
    Tyson Fury (promoter said no)
    Joe Hanks (promoter said no)
    David Price (not ready yet)
    Deontay Wilder (not ready yet)
    Andrzej Wawrzyk (injured, not ready yet anyway)

    Ruslan Chagaev (already beat him)
    Tony Thompson (already beat him)
    David Haye (already beat him)

    Jonathon Banks (fighting Mitchell)
    Seth Mitchell (fighting Banks)
    Bermane Stiverne (fighting Arreola on HBO)
    Chris Arreola (fighting Stiverne on HBO)

    Edmund Gerber (coming off a loss)
    Alexander Ustinov (coming off a loss)

    Christian Hammer (not being considered)
    Michael Sprott (not being considered)
    Kvotaro Fujimoto (not being considered)

    But who will the opponent actually be?

      They've been kicking around Pulev's name as a matchup for one of the brothers a few months now. I could see that happening.

            Samuel Peter vs. Wladimir Klitschko III !!!

            The Nigerian Nightmare is back!

            Okay, to be serious..

            Pulev deserves the Klitschko fight, but I have a feeling Pianeta will get it.

                I've reading reports that Adamek might face another opponent other than Pulev so it's logical that Pulev might take the Klitschko fight. Of the viable contenders he's the best one and has earned his shot.

                  It won't be Oquendo.

                  It might be Luis Ortiz, even though he's high-risk, low reward.
