    I don't think Povetkin stands a chance, however the heavyweight division is so bereft of legit talent that a aged Povetkin still can get a title shot.

    Povetkin has in my opinion only 2 winning chances firstly if Fury enters bout out of shape and secondly if Fury switches off, other than that the bigger younger fighter will prevail

    The ban was "retroactive." It was a ban that he served for mental health re-packaged as a PEDS ban. He didn't really serve a day for PEDS.

    He admitted nothing. He agreed to a retroactive ban he already served, and then re-iterated that he was innocent, which everyone who is not braindead knows since UKAD charged him 16 months after the fact and could not explain why.

    Props to the man for taking his life back.

    Thats not true though. His ban was for failing a drugs test and refusing another one. Quite literally, this had dragged on well before the 16 month mark as well, probably the reason the Wlad fights fell through and for his meltdown.

    It was for mental health and cocaine. It was not a PEDS ban until it was made so retroactively. He never served an actual day for PEDS.

    And no, they admitted that they would not take it to court because they had botched it by letting 16 months pass and could not explain why. The entire thing is available on line.

    See you need to learn how to separate fact from fiction. Facts are he was banned for Ped use, whether it was retroactively or not doesnt matter, all sports ban for peds retroactively.

    He had nandrolone in his system and also refused a PED test. These are all facts, your just making stuff up to suit your own personal agenda.

    UKAD didnt want to go to court because it would have cost millions and Fury knew no matter what happened in court he had nandrolone in his system and that he had refused a PED test so couldnt win outright. They made a deal that suited both so Fury admitted to taking PEDs in turn for for a retroactive punishment which would allow him to box in a couple of months time.

    This way suited both parties but officially Fury admitted to failing a test and took a ban for it. Complete fact.

    A hard puncher always have his chance. I think that the right uppercut that Povetkin sent Whyte to sleep can KO anyone in the H.W. Division.

    See, you need to learn to research primary source materials for yourself. He was RETROACTIVELY banned for PED use, which is really no ban at all.

    Fury would have such a height and reach advantage, combined with his movement don't see it.. fairplay to provetkin was a great uppercut set that trap a beaut for Whyte. But with Fury different kettle of fish, Whyte and Fury are in different league's when it comes to being hit

    No, actually it doesn't. They can say that it is so, but in the really really world, you can't change what the time was served for.

    No, no they can't. He was banned for mental health issues, and now they are pretending that it was PED use. That is all.

    Lol he was banned for mental health issues - no he wasnt. Its not even legal to ban someone for mental health issues ffs lol.

    He was banned because he was waiting for the procedure of his failed drugs tests to pass. They cant ban you for failing a drug test until its went through the full process but what they will do is start any ban from day 1 of when you were unable to fight.

    Hence Fury signing off and admitting he took Peds and the ban elapsing after 2 years from when he was unable to fight.

    He was banned for 2 years for nandrolone intake. This is factual.

    As I say though, youre welcome to live in fantasy land if it makes you feel better but everyone else will go with the facts.
