Any fight vs tba is hard to get excited for....shows the quality of the competition.

Is the Sam Peter fight still on? Boxrec took it off a few days ago.

Bert Cooper still fights and to make matters worse he's fighting Fedosov who can bang.

Looking forward to it.

Looks like Odlanier Solis is out of the IBF eliminator - I read he's getting sued by Don King.

The return of the great Bert Cooper! Hold on. Let me get the finger out of the back of my throat. But seriously. I don't see anything on the list that impresses me at all.

Does Wlad want to enhance his legacy or play safe at home? Surely he has made enough money that if he loves boxing as much as he says he can fight in the states and reach a compromise. The USA isn't the be all and end all but in the heavyweights it is a market and opportunity lost for someone like Wlad. He is so dull and a bit of a bully though and probably fears having a neutral judge.

I read Magomed Abdusalamov will fight Jameel McCline on the Klitschko-Charr undercard in September.

[Freedom]

I'm wondering if we'll have an official confirmation of the Klitschko-Wach fight soon?

Dan Rafael says the fight is not yet signed, but "they're talking".

Agree with all of this (except "probably fears having a neutral referee"). Granted, there are no really good options in the division, but the Arreola fight they rejected is the best of this bunch. Unknown polish guys? Not so much.

It's too bad a Povetkin fight can't be forced somehow. Clear that he will never fight a Klitchko in favor of milking that BS belt against beatable guys for the rest of his "prime." Still, I would have to think he could get a one-time payday against Wlad that would be bigger than his next 15 fights against off-TV no-hopers. That's one they could actually promote -- a "unification" bout (as absurd as that is).

[TigerFan]

There's no American heavyweights willing to fight them at the moment. Wladimir-Arreola was pretty much agreed on for New York until Vitali mentioned retiring after a fight or two...now Arreola and his camp changed their minds and are now waiting for a shot at a vacant WBC belt.

On Povetkin...the first backout in 08 was suspect from the beginning...his handlers claimed he was in training running through the woods and tripped over a tree stump...then Rahman got the call. Could it have happened...yes but I have my doubts

To be fair to his handlers, they were ready to throw him in with Klitschko in 2010...but Atlas stopped Wlad-Povetkin from happening claiming he wasn't ready. Here's a quote from Atlas..."Sauerland [who promote Povetkin] and his people wanted him to get on a plane for a press conference. It was a few days later, on a Monday, where the match would be signed and it would be announced. He said 'no, if Teddy Atlas tells me not to get on a plane I won't.' After that Teddy had Povetkin fighting in unlicensed fights here in America. I believe one of those "fights" is on youtube.

Japanese heavyweight and former K-1 standout Kyotaro Fujimoto 4-0 (3) will fight veteran Chauncy Welliver in Tokyo next month.

Kyotaro holds wins over Jerome LeBanner, Peter Aerts, Gokhan Saki, Mighty Mo, and Musashi.
