This fight is dead in the water, especially for this year at least.

Will somebody suspend this drug cheat already?

[Build That Wall]

That promoter thinks money can buy his way out of anything

Screw Povetkin. Wilder should shoot for the Fury/Klitchko winner. Can't sit around and wait on Povetkin to get his **** together.

If Fury beats Klitschko, Wilder should go for that fight. If Klitschko wins, I assume they'd do a third fight. In that case I want to see Wilder go after Haye or Joshua.

Either way, all of his attention should be on the UK, Fury, Joshua, and Haye.

Passed 3 drug tests earlier in April, yet fails for the smallest trace amount a few weeks later. "He came in contact with the drug".....................yeah notice how they don't say that he took the drug because if that were the case, the detected levels would have been much higher given that he was apparently clean a few weeks before hand.

Someone should have done a better job setting him up imo.

Lol @ Wider, thinking he should get $4.6 milion for a cancelled fight.

I really do hope this fight gets made.. What a FCKING SHAME. Best heavyweight fight in ages smh

I hope wilder agrees to, after all he did say no drug would save povetkin from an ass whoopin

Lol @ Wider, thinking he should get $4.6 milion for a cancelled fight.

Ryabinsky, Povetkin's promoter, sued Don King for $2.4 million and won for the exact same thing. Guillermo Jones got popped for peds before the Denis Lebedev rematch, so the fight got cancelled. They still got paid though.

Wilder should try get that $4.3 million, then fight him again for a second purse.
