Absolutely nothing to lose - will be expected to get flattened early. But if he lands that straight right ........
I think if Povetkin agrees to this fight it’s because Hearn’s advised him to get UK exposure by smashing Price on the AJ undercard and he’s got himself a title shot $$$$$$$$$ Might have to weather a shock knockdown but Povetkin stops Price heavily inside 5 rounds
What idiot would allow Pricey to fight Povetkin? How could he possibly be ready for the toughest opponent of his career? It's madness, it's dangerous and it's ending in a brutal KO. Will he even be well paid?
What's happening here is there using price to build the AJ povetkin fight. People are living in a dream world if they believe AJ Wilder will be next in the summer. U fortunately for Price he is the scapegoat to further build AJ. Saying that Price can't really say he deserves the spotlight so balls in his court, if he pulls out a performance of a lifetime he gets the next shot at AJ for an all British title shot. I don't think they want the wilder fight in all honesty. There hoping that Ortiz beats wilder or whyte gets his shot. The dream for fast Eddie is whyte beats wilder and AJ smashes whyte. I will go out on a whim and say wilder AJ will not happen this year!
Looks like it'll be Chisora/Price if Povetkin doesn't make a deal. Which isn't a bad fight for both guys actually.
So what is the fair split? Wilder does hold the WBC and is also unbeaten, I don't think that it should be 50/50 but I'd say 60/40 would be fair
