    They're keeping him alive and undefeated until a big pay day comes along that they can cash out on. They don't have the confidence in him to beat someone like Povetkin or Fury.

      Haha relax.

      Rumor it's Jennings on Jan 9 in NY. Which is a tougher fight for Wilder than Povetkin IMHO. Reach, athletic, fast. Will be a tough fight for Wilder.

      Povetkin is fighting in Nov and fights every six months these days. He won't be ready until like May.

        Bryant "Janitor" Jennings is a better opponent than Povetkin? lmfao, sure he is pal.

        Jennings is rubbish.

          He had a 1-round fight in May and isn't fighting until November.

            Not every halfway decent fight is a mega fight that needs to be built up. And that's all this is, a good fight. Not a big fight, not a superfight, just a good fight.
            Maybe not a super fight, but def a big fight. Wilder is being pushed as the new face of American Heavyweight. Alex is a great name to have on the resume, it would catapult Wilder even further and make the Klitschko fight truly a super fight.

              Wilder should fight again in December and then fight Povetkin early next year.

                Watch Klitschko-Povetkin then watch Klitschko-Jennings.

                I don't see Wilder facing Jennings. I think he'll face Wawrzyk.

                  they were negotiating with wilder's people and trying to make that fight. then wilder signed to fight duhaupas instead so povetkin in his turn chose to take a stay-busy fight too

                    Can't complain about that. Purse bids are coming up to start negotiations so why not stay active in the mean time.

                      You mean like the damage he did to cruiserweight marco huck?
