Main Events refused to negotiate with Fury and called for an expideted purse bid for Glazkof vs Fury. Team Fury has said they'll vacate the belt and fight a rematch with Wlad. Glazkof was in negotiations to fight Wilder for his WBC belt. For some reason Main Events choose to exercise the purse bid option with the IBF to fight Fury. Main Events knew Fury would drop the belt and opt for the Wlad fight. So instead of fighting Wilder for the WBC they decide to strip Fury and fight Martin for the IBF. Now Wilder is scrambling for an opponent. His next opponent will of course be less than stellar because of the monkey wrench Main Events threw in the plans. But people will still claim Wilder is ducking and fighting lesser competition. Just like they claim Wilder is ducking Povetkin when it's the other way around
Wilder was ready after his sept voluntary but Povetkin engaged in another fight https://t.co/ic9BzUVbLZ
