He probably wants the belt to negotiate a better deal with the Klitschkos. Still pretty risky, considering his stock will fall if he fails to capture it.
Perhaps he doesn't want to wait 2 years for a shot at Wlad. Perhaps, he may get a shot at the Arreola Vs Stiverne winner later this year.
with the WBC being the much easier belt to win and Wlad tied up with two mandatories in a row, he probably did the math.
I wonder how much he's gonna get fined for speaking out like he did. And will he learn. He's probably or Peter more likely has advised him its for the best in the long run.
Wlad will never face FuryNot trust me. Why would anyone duck grabimir at this point?? I think Fury would woop his old fragile ass.
Wlad don't KO people anymore. He just grabs and holds for 12 rounds and gets paid. He could care less about boxing. Wlad fights like a scaared *****. His brother fights like a man. To bad Vitali is done. Wlad will not be missed when he leaves by true boxing fans. Of course he will always have his nuthuggers.
