Wilder as the Champ deserves a USA based fight

Povetkin should have no say in the fight's location with Wilder as Wilder is the Champion and Povie has nothing. But again Wilder cannot sell many tickets in the USA and is unknown. Now if Russia wants to throw big money at Wilder say $5 million why not? Let Freedom ring and the commies sing.

Yup. Location is one of the benefits of being the champion.

Povetkin making a mistake if he is judging wilder against a southpaw. Train for the best wilder we have seen yet , not ko wise but boxing wise using his movement size jab distance combos--- the Stiverne fight. Everyone forgets Stiverne was feared going in to the near shutout wilder win. Always train for a guy at his best or you take him lightly

i think wilder beats pov anywhere, pov isnt that good and he is 37 yo now.This perez win was caused by a lucky punch, a real Povetkin you can see in Char or Takam fights where he brawles for 10 rounds and gets hit much. So there should no problem for Wilder to travel to Russia

This fight definitely won't happen in Russia

Wilder wins. But the fight won't be made, this is just fog and mirrors. Wilder vs another bum in a few months

Povetkin just saying what we all know. Wilder has no skills, just a big right hand.
