Why hasn't Wilder fought his mandatory Povetkin?

When Povetkin's coach said he was ready right now, he didnt mean it as in they are ready to schedual the fight right now, he meant it in the sense of Povetkin being able to beat Wilder when the fight does happen.
You are completely misinterpreting the quote to back up your baseless argument.

Povetkin only fought in November early/mid of that month, fighters usually only fight 2 or 3 times in a year there is no reason a fight with Alexander couldn't be made for February or March its a realistic time-scale but we need both guys to be for it.
I don't think Povetkin fight with Wach was as much pushing it back, should Povetkin not fight at all and just play the waiting game?
For WBC heavyweight world champion Deontay Wilder - the No. 1 ranked mandatory challenger is Alexander Povetkin of Russia, who also holds the WBC Silver title,
Now Povetkin's promoter is saying it'll happen "summertime" 2016

I agree the fight could've happened in February or March but Povetkin's team said they won't be ready until April or May

I just want this fight over and done with I think Wilder can win it but meh whatever, If Wilder intends on fighting 3 times in this year then the early January fight he has intended wont be a problem because April/May seems realistic so being Wilder makes easy work of whoever he has in January.Comment

April early... could be worth it, did they say why is it that eye Injury he picked up because I can remember reading some article a while ago with them saying they could be ready very early.

Be honest, now.
Povetkin took the fight with Wach only because Wilder demanded the voluntary fight with Duhaupas. He didn't want to be inactive too many months.
After Povetkin beat Wach, the pampered, over-protected Wilder demanded ANOTHER voluntary.
Wilder is afraid to fight Povetkin, and is waiting for him to get a bit older.Comment

Wow, this thread is pathetic. The guy laid it all out showing it was indeed Povetkin who pushed the fight back and requested an extension, and you still have people blaming Wilder.
I'm not surprised though, this site is filled with idiots and biased people. But then again what do you expect from posters like Freedom. SMHComment

Povetkin didn't choose the date, it was the day of a big event in Russia with several world title fight. BUT THE ONLY REASON POVETKIN FOUGHT WACH IS THAT WILDER DEMANDED A SECOND VOLUNTARY AFTER MOLINA AGAINST DUHAUPAS.
Povetkin fought Wach in early November, the craven Wilder is using this as an excuse to avoid him. Povetkin would be ready for February or March, except the pampered Wilder wants another THIRD voluntary in January to delay it several months longer.
