Ask WBO, it isn't Wlad that chooses the mandatory challengers. Wlad didn't picked Leapai, he was forced to fight him. Some morons even pretends he should have dropped the belt instead of defending it. Get a life, losers.
an african american, dominating, hw champ right now, would turn into the richest, most famous athelete ever.
What you said pretty much verifies the state of HW boxing, when bums are mandatory contenders. Vlad's resume is full of them. :yep
There are loads of good heavyweights, Leapai is nowhere near top of the heap... Pulev, Povetkin, Arreola, Glazkov, Stiverne, Thompson, Jennings, Wilder, Fury, Chisora, Jennings, Cunningham, Adamek, Chambers, Helenius, Price, Mansour, Ruiz, Jr., Charr, Takam, Chagaev, Perez, Ortiz, Solis etc. Then there's guys like Hughie Fury, Anthony Joshua, and Joseph Parker.... Young with good amateur backgrounds and a long time to improve. Lots of other prospects to who can make an impact with the right promotion, and dedication. Heavyweight division is not dead, but politics prevent it from living up to it's full potential...
All those guys are B level or bums. The only one that has real skills is Solis, but he is lazy and lives solely for the purpose of a good meal. :yep
The mandatory for that belt. If he wants to keep the belt he had to fight him. Wlad has several belts, all with mandatories. I credit him for trying to get all the belts, it forces him to fight whoever the mandatory for a particular belt(s) is. He ducks no one.
