[Muscles72]

As BoxingScene.com reported earlier today, Deontay Wilder's WBC heavyweight title fight against Alexander Povetkin has been postponed after the Russian contender tested positive for the banned substance meldonium.

crazy thing is these guys know they are testing for banned substances and some idiots think they are smarter than the rest

Ok moving on Pulev is the ideal choice, surely for early July let's go next!

[SN!PER]

Pulev next

Fury or Klitschko in December

Everyone knows what chicken legs next move is. More guys like the bums he has defended his paper title against already. Guys like Chisora, USS cunnigham, tarver, briggs etc etc etc. His normal shy-te.

Oh shut up. His next fight isn't in limbo, you know damn good and well who he'll fight next. Somebody unranked and who's name you can't even pronounce. He'll never fight Joshua because he knows Joshua would end his paper title BUM fighting reign.

I'm a fan of neither boxer, but Povetkin shouldn't get away with this without any financial penalty. Wilder should be compensated somehow.

Wilder vs Ortiz would be ideal, but i doubt it happens..


With joshua, tyson and wlad all tied up at the moment, i can see wilder fighting someone like aerreola or the guy that just beat chisora, i think it was ustinov but not certain

why would Luis Ortiz be ideal? because he already got busted for taking steroids, so it'll be unlikely for him to try it again? yeah, no thanks.

[Scipio2009]

Tyson, Joshua, Wilder, and Brown (I think). So many champions, I can't keep up. I figure some other some other alphabet soup have a vacancy and there go the last two worthwhile contenders. 5 champions and no challengers soon.

Lucas Browne just got stripped, for flunking a drug test

[Scipio2009]

the next step will be based on what the next big fight ends up being

If facing Fury-Klitschko II for a December PPV is the near-term aim, the Wilder likely fights Gerald 'El Gallo Negro' Washington (6'6, 240lbs, can kinda punch, etc) come this July/August as the warm-up.

Are we all going to pretend that DiBella and Haymon aren't pleased as peaches with this outcome? There's no way they wanted this fight in the first place, and now they have the perfect excuse to get out of it and set up another Wilder vs. #35 ranked guy type of fight. Of course Povetkin deserves a harsh penalty, and I was rooting for Wilder in the first place, but somehow deep down I knew this fight wouldn't happen.
