And seriously, the people on here trying to spin this fuckery somehow on to Wilder need to shove a cactus up their ass.

[Can'tHoldMeBack]

Pretty embarrassing, nice charity work by Deontay though. Muh****as with regular 9-5's have a chance for a title.

Anyone he fights has to be in top 15 of wbc rankings for bout to be sanctioned, you throwing your hate at wrong person here blame falls squarely on mr heart condition pedvetkin

From the moment Deontay Wilder entered training camp for his planned May 21 title defense versus Alexander Povetkin, he knew all along that he would spend the last two weeks of camp in England before boarding a plane to his next destination on the Sunday ahead of fight week.

What he didn't realize at the time, was that it would be to head home.

Wilder's fourth defense of his heavyweight title will have to come another day, as BoxingScene.com was informed on Sunday that his fight with Povetkin is officially postponed.

This is shady as ****. I doubt that Povetkin would take such small ammount of meldonium under the risk of being caught. I think that this is really a tail from last yeat nutrition.

Doesnt the test to prove if Povetkin took Meldonium before 1st Jan 2016 take a week or so, so it had to be postponed, as they wont get the results back in time before the fight.

Welp, Wilder straight *****ED...

[LittleMacAttack]

Goddamn it I was really looking forward to this. Povetkin can get ****ed for ruining the chance to see Wilder really tested.

[NEETzsche]

well i'm glad that the undercard isn't cancelled at least

although i wouldn't bet against lebedev, kudryashov, bivol, etc., being on the meldonium as well

His last 3 fights were voluntaries, no?

I'm not hating, I'm just calling it how everyone sees it.

I have no problem if they end up fighting eventually but fight shouldn't be in Russia, he should LOSE that privilege, he should lose that privilege of fighting for that WBC all together to be honest but if he still gets his shot then fight in Vegas or something and they should continue to test him!

And no one is complaining about not postponing fight of Fransisco Vargas, though he injected some serious drug, not ****ing useless meldonium.
