Wilder says he won't go to Russia to fight Povetkin

You don't go fight in Russia.

You go to Russia and have your belt taken under threat of bodily harm, kidnapping, murder, etc...

Wlad was paid an extortionate amount to defend his title against Povetkin. If that sort of money is offered Wilder will go.

I wouldn't automatically blame that on bad or deliberately bad judging, you have seen Deontay fight. Right?

Add to that the great possibility that classy fans in guerilla costumes show up and people start hucking bananas at the guy. Because that’s just what kind of tools they are. I think Povetkin goes to the States.
