Oh no! This is unfortunate; but, Rahman is a young and hungry fighter, hopefully this won't set him back too far. He is still the future of the division.
I actually wanted to see this. I was hoping Rahman could land a lucky right hand and drop Povetkin. Bah. Either that, or Povetkin showing up in shape for once.
Audley, it's your time! 2 Olimpic champions in the ring, when last time we had that in HW division? Probably when Wlad fought Mercer?
Rahman should have done it anyway, it's not like he's going to get to many more chances at a world championship.
thank you boxing gods. if povetkin's gonna fight one of heavyweight's elder statesman, it may as well be one with a shot, like michael grant. i'd be excited for that.
****ing Rahman. This is ******ed. I bet he pulled out cause he just wants to retire. Oh well, he had a good career.
Fury should pay off Madalonne and fight Povetkin on 14th. Two crap fights avoided and one interesting fight made...
