Oh damn, could this one be happening over in Russia If it goes to purse bid?
Not sure how Wilder would feel about that one but whatever pays the most, right?

I wouldnt go to Russia. Way to dirty in athletics.

But it would be cool

I think Wilder will vacate if it goes to Russia

russia just too shady for me......higher Russian authorities actually creating programs for their athletes to cheat and keep it hidden even if one pops dirty.

I thought Wilder said he wants this fight badly? What could be the hold up? The almighty Haymon can move mountians.

Yeah, but at the same time, its not like American boxing is known for being clean.

The belt is the only thing keeping him vaguely relevant. Without it, there's nothing to hide the fact he's not even a top 3 Heavyweight. Unless Haymon has other plans, he doesn't seem like the guy who would vacate. I believe in his intentions to try unify the division
