Comments Thread For: Alexander Povetkin Still Hopes To Get His Hands on Wilder

Wilder - Joshua winner will have to fight Povetkin, Ortiz....anyway. because there are no other "big names" in division.

They're all coming for the Bronze Bummer. Which is why he's so desperate to cash out against AJ.

If I was Wilder, I would take Breazeale and some other fights before fighting AJ. These are easy wins.

Tyson Fury, AJ, Ortiz, Povetkin, Miller are dangerous for Wilder.

Why take any fights before unifying unless the other two champs avoid him?

They who? Brezeale? Pedvetkin? Cash out vs Joshua. Ummm that's a 50-50 fight.

Why the hell would Wilder or his team waste time on Povetkin. He is a cheat and doesn't deserve a shot at a title, plus there are much bigger fights for Wilder to chase.

Povetkin is lucky to have his licence back.

Pedvekin is a multiple time offender and Should get a permanent ban his next failed test.
He has no right to complain or allege anything.
The only thing he needs to do is submit to all testing and stay clean.
If he can’t do that then he shouldn’t fight.

No thanks........

I don't see how this guy can continue his career.

Maybe he doesn't have to but that would mean being out of the ring for 7/8/9/10 months.

That fight happens in Wembley in late May/June/July/August. Can't be made any other time over here anyway. And Wilder doesn't have a team to speak of so it isn't happening over there.

Even without talking about money. Logistically nothing is happening in March outside of maybe AJ fighting Miller over there. Or a Mando at 02 arena in London.

The weather isn't good enough for an outdoor event outside of those spring/summer months, football teams don't allow boxing events or music event to mess up the pitches, and also the football season runs from August until May.

I reckon for AJ it will be:

Mando in March
Wilder in August

So it wouldn't surprise me if Wilder has signed to fight Breazale already.
