    His interview on the scene implies that he thought the Glaskov fight was basically sighed and that they were to announce it today.

    Im not sure who they have as back up, but the clock is ticking.

    Ive a feeling the may just push it back, or even s**** it altogether and just go straight to the Povetkin fight

    there's still the next WBC ranking in January, might give his next opponent a 2 weeks notice after they suddenly appear in the top 15

    He should just fight Povetkin, no one is interested to see him bash another bum, he's been doing that for 5 years now.

    Artur Szpilka. He's with Haymon and ranked by the WBC. Basically a 3rd straight tune-up defense for Wilder.

    They are waiting to see who has too much Christmas dinner and booze over the festive season.
    The guy who eats the most pudding and drinks the most brandy gets the call.

    In other words, Tyson Fury. I doubt that though.

    It sounds like he will and his next opponent will be Szpilka.

    I feel like todays announcement was to rubber stamp the Glaskov fight.

    Now that he's pulled out, I'm nit sure there will be an announcement

    That's what they should do... Cancel the date, and start pursuing the fight with Povetkin. That way neither side can make excuses.
