Before the B-sample even came back, the guy was on a plane out of Russia faster than you could say "Dropped by Wlad in sparring"
It does mention in this threads subject article (link below) that he's to pencil out a fighter for February 2017. Who he will fight next is obviously neither Klitschko or Joshua. It also mentions the winner of this Saturdays clash between Stirverne vs Povetkin but it then reiterates that a unification bout supersedes a mandatory bout. This could mean Parkers offer or not? Who else or why not? No, it doesnt mention Parker in the article but Im betting Wilder knows about Parkers offer. https://www.boxing247.com/boxing-news/deontay-wilder-klitschko-joshua/66754/amp
I'd be happy if he faces anyone high level. Wlad-Joshua winner, Stiverne-Povetkin winner, Ortiz, Parker, Pulev. If ducking Povetkin meant fighting Wlad-Joshua winner or Ortiz, I could live with it.
Agree Wilder will continue to avoid anyone on this level for quite some time yet This guy has the weakest resume, and he will keep it that way
Wilder is probably looking to cash out. He'd rather do it against someone other than Povetkin for more money I guess.
Yeah and yet, Deontay Wilder had the bare-faced cheek to call out Anthony Joshua on his level of opposition prior to fighting Eric Molina. Should Joshua get by Wladimir (as I expect him to, despite wanting Wladimir to win) that win would far supercede every win on Wilder's resume combined.
