He'll get the fight. No way can a promoter make that kind of decision without the fighters approval.

You're wrong. Don King absolutely has that right in his contracts.
Stiverne may try to get out of his contract, in which case King will try to tie him up in litigation for as long as possible.
This entire Wilder/Stiverne/Joshua/Ortiz mandatory mess is going to be fascinating to watch.Comment

Danm no wonder stiverne got prince and that lawyer. Boxing really is like a soap operaYou're wrong. Don King absolutely has that right in his contracts.

Could be the case that's why team Wilder started negotiations with Ortiz's team. The W.B.C might of let Haymon know to save his money ahead of time before he pays King a step aside fee, because Stiverne is going to get stripped of his #1 contender spot; for a missed drug test. Hopefully this is the case for all boxing fans so we can see the fight we all want to see.Just heard that supposedly Stiverne didn't take a Vada drug test very recently. In the WBC rules if you miss a drug test it's almost identical as failing the test. Heard this was just reported, so I'm going to do research on it. Hopefully this bans Stiverne from fighting for the title.Comment

According to a WBC report, 5 ranked boxers missed their drug screening. Stiverne was one of the 5. Someone on the forum mentioned that missing a test was the same as failing.
But on Fight News I didn't see any mention of that on the report. So I'm not sure what is going to happen if anything at all happens. I'm guessing we should have heard something by now, but I'm not sure.
I definitely would love to see the Wilder-Ortiz fight get made. We just have to see how everything unfolds.Last edited by The Time; 07-20-2017, 11:43 AM.Comment

Also if the missed drug test is true Stiverne might screw himself out of the step-aside fee hiring a lawyer. King may be trying to get some ca$h before he gets stripped of his #1 ranking. So hopefully Stiverene keeps this up so there is no fight him, for his ******ity. Lets all hope the W.B.C doesn't screw this up.Comment

He is not going away! Just make that fight as soon as possible and get him out of the way! We know this is the fight coming unfortunately for us but I don't blame Wilder THIS TIME, I blame the WBC for just GIVING Stivernie #1 Contender after Povetkin failed his test instead of ordering the next contender in their rankings to fight Stivernie for a shot at Wilder. So now we stuck with a rematch NOBODY WANTS!Comment
