AJ vs Povetkin probably next

[Tony Mangtana]

This would be a great fight. Povetkin could take Joshua into some very dark waters..

[Mr Objecitivity]

I'd like to see that fight. Seems like an interesting matchup to me!

Povetkin is also in the list for Whytes next fight

So povetkin is going to risk his mandatory WBA spot and ****** AJ money to fight dillian whyte.. who is either going to fight ortiz as a final eliminator for the WBC, or Pulev for mandatory in the IBF?

Yeah, it doesn’t make sense for him to risk that. Whyte went down the WBC route which hasn’t proved to be great other than chalk up a better resume.

The IBF don’t mess around with mandatories, if you’re the mandatory you get a shot or they’ll strip that title ASAP. That’s probably why he’s gonna right Pulev in that final eliminator.

The purse bid got delayed last week as Pulev werent willing to move from the 75/25 purse split. Could be theyre going Povetkin instead, Joshua seemed pretty sure Wilder is happening next.

As expected. Povetkin is a tough fight for anyone and will be a good test for AJ. Let's not forget he was Wilder's biggest challenge about a year ago. Not like he has slipped much since then. Povetkin is still legitimately a top5 HW, about on the level of Luis Ortiz.

[Johnston]

Good stuff, hopefully this gets made soon

[BillyBoxing]

I wouldn't call anyone a coward for taking on Povetkin. Especially after that brutal knockout of Price.

Even at his old age he is a force to be reckoned with and a risk for Joshua. It'll be his highest level opponent other than Wlad.

Agreed real talk.

[uppercut510]

Why arent any aj fans asking who pedvtkin fought in his 20th fight???????

[Boksfan]

So Wilder guy is pricing himself out of this fight again?
