    Kovalev has been based in the US most of his career and he's not promoted by World of Boxing. Why would Ryabinsky do Duva any favors?

      Just throwing it out there....maybe just to host a big fight.. I mean they spent like $23 million for Wlad-Povetkin... They obviously have more money then they know what to do with...

        Wilder already fought in Russia as amateur... you can watch the fight on youtube , he got knocked out by some russian dude.

          That was to put World of Boxing on the map. It got people talking and tongues wagging.

            For 4.5M he should be willing to go anywhere

              I dunno man..

              My heart says Wilder, brain says Povetkin.. I think Wilder has what it takes, the size advantage alone helps him quite a bit. But as soon as Povetkin catches him, then what? Can he take it? Wilder's best bet is to knock Povetkin out before it gets heated

                    Duva had these mysterious investors to promote a fight in Russia a couple times already... Only problem is that she made that up in her wet dreams... #fantasy

                      That's it, if Povetkin catches him, game over. Of course, Wilder does have those titanium rods in his right hand ...
