Isn't a bad choice of arena certainly. Its the same place Ibragimov fought Holyfield a few years ago

Sounds good to me, but team Wilder need keep an eye on his piss samples!

Was the Olimpiyski booked out?

What's going on with the drug testing for this fight? What's taking Ryabinskiy so long to announce it? He's known since November that this fight was going to be made one way or another. This should've already been in place

Was the Olimpiyski booked out?

I'm sure the Olympic stadium must have been first choice, for whatever reason they are unable to use it with an extra 10k seats compared to Megasport the promoter must be disappointed.

Wilder faces a baying mob regardless. Or maybe this is to take added pressure off of Povetkin.

Wilder coming into the p4p you heard...get ready.

sort the test or u're trying to make wilder vacate and never fight like i always suspected...team povetkin imo never wanted this fight..he dont want long tall fighters...he did until he saw wilder improving and pumping a jab and taking a bit off his punches in order to go rounds and have more control

aka Khodynka Ice Palace. capacity for boxing 13,926

First quarter of 2016 has ****** but what an epic year it could turn out to be:

Wilder vs Povetkin
Ward vs Kovalev
Canelo vs Golovkin
Kell Brook vs Bradley Skeete
And so on
