Povetkin disappointed that the fight with Wilder had to be postponed
rough translation:
Russian heavyweight Alexander Povetkin in an interview with Tass said he is upset that his fight with WBC champion American Deonteem Wilder this year will not take place.
"A bit disappointed that the fight with Wilder had to move. We would like it once was, we were not going to spend more fights. As it happens, nothing can be done", - said Alexander.
Povetkin added that the Pole Mariusz Wach, a fight which he will hold on November 4 in Kazan, also is for him a serious contender.
"I'm preparing for him after a trip to Ekaterinburg continue training. The rival difficult, it should not be underestimated. I'm preparing for it as usual, a little preparation will not" - said Povetkin.Comment

Dear oh dear. So a loss to Teper and a MD over Charr has scored Duhaupas a favourable ranking with the WBC? They really are corrupt.Originally posted by Freedom. View Post
That aside, this is a horrible match up, especially for a so-called champion. Wilder and Al Haymon should be ashamed.Comment

I am a fan of Wilder, but not Al Haymon.
I can't imagine that the WBC will allow Wilder to keep that belt for very long if he doesn't fight Povetkin.
If Haymon pays off the WBC, and they are corrupt enough to accept, it could really taint the legacy of their organization and their past champions as well.Comment

Team Povetkin fed up with Wilder's horse ****.
Quote are from google translate so not the best english.
Sasha need a heavy, tall opponent. Because when it comes to American Deonteya Wilder, there would be no joke. Everything will be very difficult and serious. And even this interim fight must still be heavy. We believe that Sanya seriously added lately, he needed not to be afraid to give serious fighting. In Waha has its pros and cons: maybe it is not so fast, there is a problem of technology. But he's very tough, physically powerful and strong, he's tall and he duhovity boxer. We must understand that and Bax Klitschko defended all 12 rounds, the first four of which he won. And who knows what could have happened if the Klitschko if he could not break this fight. Sasha needs such examination. We went into an area where more is not easy. Firstly, I have already said, that just does not want any "bags", and secondly, the level such that someone feeble just did not deliver. - This will allow the sachet to make another step forward to Wilder. - It's a good test , good training for him. Sanya is strengthened if all goes well, if it is properly will fight properly prepare and win.
- How are the negotiations with Wilder? - It is very difficult, until at some stage the first. I do not understand. Sometimes it seems that they do not want to Wilder was fighting with Sasha. And now, this strategy is built negotiating to try as much as possible to avoid this fight, as it were, if it does not (avoid), did not work ... I have in mind two tactics. Or do we fight together with the Americans, then - in the United States. But my condition - we will do it very cool, that's just the bomb should be for the whole world! In the heavyweight division for a long time there were no such battles. Everyone knows what it is, who are these guys, what is the competition. It's a fight for the title of world champion WBC. The second tactic - if we do not successfully negotiate to go, then I'll just try to buy out bid this fight. Either I will redeem it at high prices, or the side of it, we will buy, but too high prices. And of course I'll try to pay dearly to leave the fight in Russia.
- will be the numbers comparable to fight Povetkin, Klitschko? - Yes, it will be comparable to the figures. - Are you ready at a certain scenario, to fly to the United States? - We ready to fly to America. We are not afraid. In a situation where we do together and very cool. I understand
- in the United States will do even better. Because it will be right for the whole world. There's another story, boxing developed as entertainment (entertainment), all under this enchanted - TV, correct pitch, a lot of people who know and want, you know. For them it will be something desirable. But if it will bid, I will carry on the tactics to leave the fight in Russia. - In the United States, as you see, will it be possible to put the fight on pay-per-view? - I'd like to see this fight was on pay-per -view. There are specific guys owners of these networks, it is necessary to talk with them - if there is interest in this, what can be expected. In my view, this fight is worthy of pay-per-view. Because with all due respect to the Klitschko - I think they are a great boxer, then do nothing to talk about - they are still on tactics in the ring a little boring. Effective, but not spectacular. And these guys - two spectacular boxers. This level of fight for the world title was not long ago. And the story that one of the Russian, the second of America. It can be quite a serious thing.
- If all the same venue for the bout will be chosen America as it will affect the training Povetkin, who usually prepares in Russia? - He will go there first to collect. This should definitely be done, because it will be necessary to acclimate, to get used to everything. And with it will go to the whole team. - Apparently, the fight Povetkin and Wilder should be no later than January 2016? - It depends on the negotiations. Theoretically, we should begin negotiations in October. Well, let's see. Definitely all, the fight will be next year. Plus, as I understand clearly that Deontay Wilder is now unable to carry out other fights, except mandatory challenger Povetkin. I asked this question WBC, they told me very clearly that this can not be against the rules. - From the Wilder often had different unflattering remarks about Sasha ... do not pay attention? - There is a good proverb: The dog barks, the caravan moves on. In my understanding, the language of revenge as a broom - it's not masculine behavior. Of course, Wilder is more visible, it has its own culture and its perception of the world. But I want to say when Sanya Povetkin met Volodya Klitschko, none of them about the other bad word said. Although there was some kind of confrontation between Russia and Ukraine, I felt it as an organizer, heard enough such that my mother did not worry. But none of them about the other did not say anything wrong. Decent, strong real men. But this ... In America, it may be so accepted. In my opinion, it is ugly. We are not going to respond. All this talk about steroids, we are ready to discuss only with some facts. Let the paper, let's review. I know that everything is fine, no problems. Please - let's take a drug test. But these are the facts, action and revenge language is bad, ugly.
