Hearn heading to New York - hoping to get the deal done face to face

Joshua wants to become undisputed.....

And Povetkin is Mandatory.....


So both are clearly true.

I can't see Povetkin taking step aside money though......
If Wilder becomes Undisputed, Joshua is still the bigger cash cow.

 

I didn't include any lol

 

sarcasm really is lost on you isn't it?

 

self ownage, when external humiliation just isnt quite enough.

 

I wonder if a consideration about Povetkin perhaps having money behind him to try to make the fight go down in Russia is something in play? Joshua arguably had some hometown/friendly refereering in the Parker fight, as did Wilder getting the maximum recover time against Ortiz. This could be the difference in an even fight, and a rematch with Joshua in the UK would be a great future fight for anyone who gets a close (even controversial) decision. Povetkin wouldn't want to be in a position where he's prevented from fighting on the inside, and would be especially wary of this after the Parker fight.

 

'friendly refereeing'.....

Go back and watch the fight.

Parker wanted to get in and out, not fight in a telephone box.

 

Wasn't on Wilder's either.

Why has Wilder ducked Povetkin?

 

Hasn't gone near him since he failed a test.....Even though the WBC have cleared him.
