Glad the WBC is standing firm on that. Yes he needs that fight next and I don't think fans will accept anything else after the backlash for his last fight

[just the facts]

I'm a huge Wilder fan but it's time he fought some real competition. Povetkin has earned the fight. Time to get it done.

i still find it amazing people are writing off wilder. people are over valuing povetkin like crazy i agree povetkin will be favorite but i think wilder can absolutely beat povetkin

What was the backlash? People were critical of his performance or his opponent?

Wilder was able to make a couple of quick defences at home and fair enough, but it's time to face the music and fight Povetkin next. He should be able to beat him and if he does, we need to take Wilder very seriously.
