Vlad has nothing to do with Leapai becoming the WBO mandatory. Leapai beat the number one contender to earn the title fight, unlike Wilder who has never fought a ranked fighter, his #3 WBC was simply given to him for doing nothing.............Vlad plans to fight for the WBC title and is interested in fighting Wilder ASAP.............
Team pulev wanted a summer fight so let the WBO fight go first. Prob so they can use a stadium and not a smaller arena
You say that by watching him from your couch in front of the TV. But pro boxers saw what he did to 305 lb, 6`8 Ustinov, the quick 6`7 Dimitrenko, and the old but super smart Tony Thompson. The excuse they all use is ... there is no money in fighting him .... which is a complete lie. Fury did not want the eleiminator with him, Adamek refused the fight also, Jennings denied a six figure $ offer, saying it is not enough (by what reason would he deserve more I don`t have an idea) .... By the way the only HW boxer that wouldn`t duck anybody at the moment is the Tiger ... and he lost! I am not saying Pulev is invincible and there are particuler styles that would give him hell but he deserves more credit from boxing fans and especially from the sanctioning bodies who are obviously trying to screw him. Who needs a champion from a small market?
Sauerland doesn't offer much $. Offers only mando position but that require at least 3 moths preparation in order to face Pulev. There are a lot of boxers, involved with WBC and many which are not ready to take the challenge. Fury, Chisora, Povetkin, TT out of the list. Glazgov, Adamek fought recently. Ustinov, Lucas, Andy Ruiz Chagaev... I dont know. So all bums out there.
Plus, i don't see a reason of Wlad ducking Pulev. If he goes after WBC that will probably happen early 2015. There are a many fights to be seen before Wlad fights for WBC. Probably fights Wilder for the title which is a wish come true. Of course there is a BIG IF. So late September is quite possible. I Hope Wlad doesn't get injured. Could be an other shoe coming through his face.
That doesn't add up. A win over Pulev equals a shot at the champ while taking at least 25/30% of the purse. If that's against Klitschko that's well over a £1m payday to take home. If you're good enough to beat Pulev clearly you're going to be rewarded.
So basically it's just a minor tune-up fight for Pulev, likely against some unranked boxer. Well at least he is staying busy until the summer.
No No no.. Dino said for a fact that Wlad was making Pulev fight Chisora in a Flaming Ring Death Match this summer, and if he survives that he has to fight a Tiger Shark in Piranha Tank in the winter, than maybe just maybe, Wlad might vacate the title to what is left of Pulev. I'm sorry but I trust Dino more than you.
This. He pizza faced the giant Ustinov with his jab alone, and he forced him to quit. Pulev is solid and afraid of no one, he is being ducked.
A completely made up statement and straight out of the Bob Arum book of bull****. Team Pluev said Wlad is fighting weak bodies because its not in Wlads interest to fight Kubrat.
