    According to Vladimir Hryunov.

    But against who? Who is safe enough to take on short notice after the Huck fiasco?

    I'll bet it does not happen.

    Povetkin's career is slowly turning into a train wreck.

    Lets see.. who is available?

    Maybe this guy?


    Vitali's 'final' fight in doubt - hope for Haye?
    ESPN staff
    June 27, 2012

    WBC heavyweight champion Vitali Klitschko has dismissed widespread reports which suggested he had agreed to face Manuel Charr in September.

    Klitschko was expected to battle Charr, the unheralded German who is unbeaten in 21 contests, at the National Sports Complex in Kiev, Ukraine. The bout was discussed as, in all probability, Klitschko's last before he went into politics on a full-time basis.

    However, Klitschko has revealed that he never put pen to paper on a Charr clash. "My return is not set," Klitschko said, according to ***********.com. "It was reported that my fight will be held at the Olimpiyskiy and that even the opponent was named.

    "I can verify that this information is not true. I did not sign any contracts. When I have specific information, we will immediately assemble a press conference to inform [everyone] about where and when I'm having my next fight."

    The news boosts David Haye's hopes of facing Klitschko at some point this year - although not by much, because the WBC has said it will expel anyone involved in the Haye v Chisora bout on July 14.

    Unless the organisation softens its stance, Haye would be pinning his hopes on Klitschko agreeing to face him outside the WBC's umbrella.

    I would love to see it, but there is no way in hell Povetkin would fight Vitaly.

    Hiring alleged trainer Teddy Atlas ****ed him up. Can't say how far he would have gone, but now he has lost 2 years, and seems totally confused, as does his management.

    He was ****ed up before Atlas.

    And he has Kostya Tszyu now. So he should get himself un****ed and take some real fights.

    Povetkin and his camp know his chin is suspect. His record looks decent with Chageav and Chamber's on the resume. But both have little power.

    Probably not...

    However, Vitali is looking older, slower and more beatable these days than ever before.

    Its also his last fight.

    Maybe he's preoccupied with politics?

    Maybe he's slow enough to win a decision against?

    Maybe Pov needs to do something bigger than sit on the WBA paper strap and take his pick of who comes knocking and the occasional mandatory?

    Maybe that is what Povetkin is thinking?

    I hope. I would love to see the fight.

    I don't think it is going to be Vitaly's last. I know he is hinting it, but I think he is counting on becoming Mayor of Kiev, which is perhaps a bit delusional sicne he has lost twice before.
