You just wouldn’t get this in any other sport, an athlete such as Stiverne getting an opportunity based on years of inactivity and nothing to deserve it. Stiverne only fought once after that fight when he laboured to a win over heavyweight, If Wilder wins, nothing happens to increase his stock. Even if he knocks out Stiverne in spectacular style, he’s beaten a guy who has fought 10 rounds in three years. And if somehow he loses, he’s just lost to an inactive 39-year-old guy he’s already beaten.
