    The minute klitschko exercised the rematch clause, the ibf belt was gone no matter what.............

      Sucks that Wilder went from Jennings to Glazkov to Szpilka?

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


        She is punishing Hymen for the Stevenson debacle. Well, it looks like Wilder will be fighting another tin can next.......

          Also, Haymon has Martin, who is the next highest ranked IBF contender below Glazgov. When the IBF orders Glazgov-Martin for the vacant title, I wouldnt be surprised if Duva sends that to purse bid also hoping Haymon will overpay.....

            Isn't Glazkov a tin can? I thought Malik Scott & Steve Cunningham both deserved decisions over him. His best win is over an ancient Adamek. Wilder was fighting a tin can either way imo. The fact that Glazkov is the mandatory would be an embarrassment to a non-corrupt organisation.

            Is Szpilka confirmed? I'm assuming that'll be the opponent myself, but haven't heard anything confirmed. Jennings was the only legit opponent on the table if he was on tap early on (idr that myself unless you are talking further back, but never the less).

              All we can hope for is Wlad puts the rematch on ice for a minute so fury can deal with his Glazkov Issue.

              I swear to god if Fury fights Glazkov I will personally fly to England too view that can get his overhype, protected gifted ass just desserts.

                Outbidding Duva wont be hard, she is broke.

                  Moral of the story: The IBF and WBC belts mean nothing. Everyone knows the real and only champion in the division is Fury and his challenger is Wlad.

                  Main Event, Haymon, Glazkov, Wilder et al can keep fighting for scraps.

                    Martin is with Haymon and Glazkov would've gotten more money fighting Wilder & a shot at the WBC which is better than the IBF. It's a cheap move by Duva in order to get an easy belt.

                      Someone tried to imply something dumb because Wilder's personal cheerleader said so. I simply corrected him.
