    I don't think Wlads avoiding him

    He fought Povetkin, the fight everyone was asking for

    Pulev was thought to be next but he had a mandatory get in the way and the IBF seemed willing to wait

    The WBC title became an option so Pulev became secondary

    I feel he will fight Pulev next but the WBC belt will elude him

    They will probably make a long line of mandatories so Wlad wont be able to unify

    he gets 18 months for the WBA and WBO mandatory that is a long time. The IBF is the only one he has to satisfy every 12 months. He can have a shot at fighting for the WBC in March or Summer 2015 depending on who has the belt at the time and the promoters involved.

    Interesting that Wlad is one of few boxers in recent years to do the chin implant.

    Worked well. It will be time for him to gain all the belts and become undisputed champ.

    Heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko's promotional company, K2 Promotions, will control his mandatory defense against Kubrat Pulev after it won the purse bid Tuesday for the right to stage the fight.

    K2 bid $7,250,131 to easily top the only other offer, which was for $5,290,144 by Pulev promoter Sauerland Event. The proceedings took place at IBF headquarters in Springfield, New Jersey.

    According to the IBF, K2 Promotions has 90 days to put on the fight, although it is likely to take place on Sept. 6 in Hamburg, Germany, according to K2 Promotions.

    The purse bid took place because K2 and Sauerland were unable to make a deal. Klitschko is entitled at 80 percent of the winning bid ($5,800,105), and Pulev is entitled to the remaining 20 percent (a career-high $1,450,026).

    Good! Now we get the fight finally. Wlad will still have tons of time to go for the unification, after September.

    Wilder-Stiverne is slated for November.

    Hopefully Wlad can fight the winner of Chisora-Fury in December or January, and then go on to unify with Wilder sometime in 2015.

    So is Wlad still avoiding Pulev? I'm confused. Winning a bid mit close to $8m doesn't sound like avoiding.

    Placing the winning bid doesn't seem like a duck to me. Good fight.

    Freedom dislike of Wladimir stems from his brother's political stance on the conflict between Ukraine and East Ukrainian separatist loyal to Russia which he found to very anti-white. Prior to that conflict, Freedom was the biggest Wladimir Sac hugger on this forum.
