    If the proposed date is April 6, it's getting late.

    Are they waiting to see how Boystov does in his upcoming fight? Are there secret negotiations with Solis or some other heavyweight?

    Does Tyson Fury genuinely want Wlad? If he does, why aren't there negotiations?

    Tyson Fury has 20 professional fights and no proper experience yet for Wladimir, he would get sparked.

    CHEF says Wladimir is waiting for the WBA to make their decision on whether to permit a voluntary defense.

    I dunno about Kimbo, but if there isn't anybody better available, Franklin Lawrence could be an opponent for Wlad. But I suppose a Kimbo fight would be easier to sell.

    Most likely, but it would be fun to watch. But yeah I could see why Fury would avoid it. On the other hand, if he loses an eliminator he might not get another shot at Wlad.

    Maybe he's wondering if Haye's toe is broken again.

    He and Floyd are playing chicken to see who can go longest without announcing.

    The WBA has granted permission for Wlad's voluntary defense, so long as there is a date and an agreement in place for Klitschko-Povetkin in the summer.

    So we'll likely have an answer within a few days as to who the April 6 opponent will be.

    Yes. The WBA has granted the voluntary defense on several conditions, one of which is that the Wlad-Povetkin must have a date and signed contract by Feb 28. Another condition is that Wlad has to fight Povetkin by July 31.

    Here's a link to the report (use google translate):
