Jay Deas wants Deontay Wilder to fight Charles Martin next

Alexander Povetkin and his promoter are doing all they can to make the fight with Wilder, but trainer/co-manager Jay Deas has little faith in Wilder for some reason and wants to continue to avoid Povetkin.

Of course, to save face, they'll repeat the usual lie that it's Povetkin avoiding Wilder. But they can't fool people forever.

Wilder trainer says if Povetkin delays again, Martin unification is welcomed

It has to be Povetkin next, I am surprised that Povetkin felt he was not ready.

Called it ;D

Is jay deas the trainer as well or just the manager?

And then, he could fight the winner of Lucas Browne-Chagaev in a super unification fight;D

They're milking it for everything they can! Maybe they'll get the message when everyone stops watching, I was reading Wilder's marketability is slip sliding away.

It'll be interesting to see if he gets stripped if he dodges Povetkin. Actually not interesting, probably depressing.

Seems highly unlikely. If they didn't want him hanging on to the belt he wouldn't have been allowed to defend it against 3 fringe guys in a row, is my thinking.

Povetkin's Promoter Feels Wilder Will Vacate and Fight Martin

If Wilder does that then that would officially would be a duck.

I'd go with officially crawling under the bed sheets in a fetal position. Strangely Wilder is giving a whole new meaning to "defensively flawed".

The weird thing is that I honestly think wilder beats povetkin but they are the ones avoiding him so maybe they aren't as confident as I am.

These are the times when I wish Povetkin had the mouth and personality of a cross between David Haye and Tyson Fury. Not that it would get him the fight.... but at least show Wilder up in the press and get some fans questioning Wilder's testicular fortitude.

I was a fan of Wilder's in the beginning, but now all his chest-beating is sounding a little hollow.

I think the mainstream fans have stopped watching him as well.

Povetkin was at the fight but may as well have been the invisible man for the amount he tried to promote a fight netween the two!
