    Fury is in semi final position for the IBF and WBC so it's kind of annoying for Pulev

    in all honesty I consider Pulev the #1 contender for THE title right now, Wlad really should fight him next

      They are not being fair to Pulev.

      The IBF should have just declared Pulev mandatory when Adamek pulled out, like they declared Thompson mandatory when Chambers pulled out.

        Povetkin must be considered #1 contender. Pulev is #2. Tyson #3. That's how it goes imo.

        So Tyson - Pulev is a eliminator for top spot for IBF. If povetkin continues to duck, the winner takes on Wlad.

            Yeah I can't see Povetkin stepping up.

            He's had that "title" almost 2 years now and is having another defence next month against an as yet unnamed opponent, so it'll be another scrub at this late stage.

              Me neither. Why should he? He can milk that title and make some decent money. Everybody knows he'll get squashed as soon as he fights Wlad.

              Apparently, Wawrzyk is fighting Povetkin now. He wants glory (fake belt) over money (Haye).

              Interesting to see whether he'll be criticized as much as Haye, or if it's just another "stay-busy" fight.

                Thank you, but it's not really surprising for me, I said before the fight that Rigo will dance circles around him, guy is pure genius.

                  This. Absolutely ridiculous.

                  Pulev should of been the IBF mandatory when Adamek pulled out, just like how Thomspon became the mandatory when Chambers pulled out of their eliminator. Same situation and if I'm not mistaken same sanctioning body.

                    Arreola-Stiverne was supposed to be a title elimination. Why would the winner fight Fury? Unless Klitschko refused to fight the winner and retired.

                      I thought it was only a semi-final eliminator? Not a final one. I may be mistaken though.
