Steve Cunningham says Wladimir Klitschko will beat Alexander Povetkin.

Thanks for the scoop, Steve.

Pulev won the semi final eliminator against Ustinov last September. Under the rules of the IBF he cannot fight before the final eliminator.

So now he has to wait more months after Adamek and more recently Fury refused to fight him.

Why did the IBF declare Tony Thompson the mandatory when Eddie Chambers backed out of the final?

David Tua vs. Alexander Ustinov is rumored to be in the works for August 31st in New Zealand.
