that's not what happened according to two lawsuits...
fights can still go on without a sanctioning body. and IIRc the WBC decided that they couldn't make a determination, but again, it does not decide whether fights go on or not1
povetkin's promoter countersued wilder for 35 million for a breach of contract after wilder and his promoter sued povetkin for 5ish million for breach of contract. wilder was awarded the suit after about 30 mins of deliberation. if you remember the timeline, povetkin popped for ostarine in the lead up to the stiverne fight right around the time of the ruling.
. why fight a drug cheat when you can get paid for not fighting him?
