Who does Wlad fight after Povetkin? I don't think there's anyone in the current HW division that has a chance of beating him.
Assuming that Wladimir wins, he should face Pulev, Fury (assuming either that Fury/Haye doesn't happen or Fury defeats Haye), and then Wilder, in that order. If they would ever get healthy and continue to win, Helenius and Boytsov would make reasonable voluntary defenses after the first three mentioned. Pulev has clearly earned his place, and I maintain that in the past 2 years he has surpassed Povetkin. Fury and Wilder both have high levels of visibility right now, so they would make sense. Helenius and Boytsov are both undefeated and continue to be ranked highly by the WBO. Of course, I don't know who Wlad's next mandatories will be, as they will be sprinkled in as well.
he may want his brother to avenge his brutal knockout loss... it's revenge of the brother time again...
ya know... after Waldo is brutally KO'd on saturday... Vitali could go for a Full Unification Fight against Povetkin... try to win back the family honor and take it out on Povetkin's face!!!
Kubrat Pulev is his IBF mandatory. He may be permitted to have a voluntary defense before that, possibly as early as Dec 14. Ahmet Oner wants to cash out Odlanier Solis.
Vlad mentioned fighting Wilder in the future. Pulev will probably be his mandatory, so one fight, then mandatory Pulev........
Pulev. He beat TT in an IBF eliminator, so he's up for the winner of this weekends winner. Which will be Wlad.
-Pulev -Fury -Wilder/Jennings if he wants to step back, but do a little more interesting than his recent run. Not too much else really matters. Chisora, sure.
