People seem to be ignoring this.
These people, with more money than Matchroom, have said they won't step aside and they want the fight in Russia. Eddie Hearn has said both he and AJ don't want the fight in Russia. Talked about Povetkin possibly being the NYC fight. If Povetkin's people take it to purse bids then the World title is going to be splintered before we get the AJ vs. Deontay Wilder fight. Interesting thing is AJ could satisfy the mandatory for both the WBA and the WBO by fighting Povetkin, so it makes sense. The IBF doesn't currently have a mandatory.
