Comments Thread For: Wilder-Povetkin: Showtime Willing To Head To Russia

[Scipio2009]

Question is, will Wilder be willing to travel to Russia? That's far from home.

For the champions share of a bid split that would like be over $20m? Yes, Wilder should be fine going to Russia.

As long as the WBC sanctions at least two non-Russians judges for the fight (could literally be from anywhere else in the world), and the ref doesn't save Povetkin (long 8-count and the like), I see no issues.
