Heavyweight Schedule for 2018

[BigZ44]

Oscar Rivas is off the Wilder-Arreola card.

Amir Mansour will instead be fighting Gerald Washington.

Again? So a rematch of that draw from last year? Probably Mansour's last chance, can't see him getting any more big fights at his age if he loses.

Deontay Wilder on his upcoming clash with Cristobal Arreola:

People said Arreola doesn't deserve the shot, but who are they to say things about a man who every time he gets in the ring he fights with his heart.

I feel like this is a special occasion. It's a short notice fight. A lot of guys said they would take it, but used the short notice as an excuse. It takes a lot to put together a fight. But when you can get someone who can make the best of this and put on a great show, it's a job well done.

There's only one name who can make this be what it is. Every time he steps in the ring, he comes to fight. I think we chose the right person.

This is going to be an exciting fight for everyone. It's two dangerous heavyweights. Two guys who fight with their hearts. It's going to be an action-packed fight from beginning to end.

This was my longest layoff. I've wanted to be an active champion since I won the belt. When one door closes, another one opens.

It's up to Chris to take advantage of this opportunity. He has his own history that he can make and it will mean a lot to him.

My mentality is to go all out. Everything I say, I really believe. I don't need anyone to believe in me, because I believe in myself.

I have a guy in front of me who's trying to stop me from getting to the next level. I promise this is going to be an outstanding fight.

New WADA guidelines clear Povetkin

(from fight news)

WADA has just issued a new Meldonium report, that appears to back heavyweight Alexander Povetkin’s claim that he didn’t take Meldonium after the substance was banned on January 1.

Povetkin’s test revealed 0.07 micrograms of Meldonium in April, under the 1 µg /mL amount permitted between March 1 and September 30 under the updated guidelines.

The Povetkin-Wilder fight was supposed to take place on May 21 at the Khodynka Ice Palace in Moscow.

But it was postponed after one of the samples showed traces of Meldonium in extremely low concentrations.
