No, he will just abandon the belt altogether. Wilder is such a ***** that it is not enought to fight guys like Molina, Duhauaps and Szpilka, he has to give them a short camp so that he can cycle off the roids. He knows that he has no chance whatsoever against Povetkin, and will come up with some excuse. He will drop he belt, and go on to fight Mike Mollo while waiting for Fury to give him a charity shot. All the time, his stupid, gullible fans will insist that he is the real champ and the future.
Wilder thought he'd rake in 20 million. Now after trainer and Haymon took their cut plus the taxman opening his hands Wilder will go home with less than $3 million. And then he'll be unemployed and be cut off from any major purses I assume for many years. So understandably he's looking for a way out. He's sh***ing bricks right now.
Compare Wilder now to Fury before he fought Wlad. Fury had unbreakable confidence and 100% belief in himself despite have a much larger challenge to over come. There's level to this and Wilder was never on Fury's level , no matter how many times he pretended to call him out.
