Translation:

"I see that fight Wilder VS. Wawrzyk 26.09 takes shape. It is no coincidence tomorrow sparring on the Legion will be treated as the official fight."

("on the Legion" - he refers to Wawrzyk's fight tomorrow, which was originally considered a sparring contest not recorded on Boxrec - I think he's saying it will now be counted as an official fight)

If only Wilder's team had as much confidence in him as many others did.

[dagilechia]

yea from today its annouced as official fight vs Kowoll in Legia fight club

[punchoutsb]

Wilder's doubters (dubbed haters of course) put together lists of sub-par acceptable opponents, and somehow Wilders teams manages to find worse.

And then wonder why Wilder get's so much flack.

Now Wawrzyk's fight tomorrow is officially sanctioned, and has been added to BoxRec.

He's fighting Patryk Kowoll (3-14).

there were voices about 3 weeks ago that Wilder-Wawrzyk may happen and now just one day before the Wawrzyk fight its announced as official. probably Wasilewski (Wawrzyk promoter) were talking with Haymon (who has contract with Wawrzyk too) and knows something we dont. Wasilewski is sometimes talking with fans on one of Polish boxing forums so we wait for his post there.

the other argument for Wilder Wawrzyk fight is that Povietkin fought him too

[crusader]

He was a soft opponent for Povetkin too but at least at that point he hadn't already been found out in brutal fashion.

Molina lost KO1 (if im not wrong) to Arreola who is worse than Povetkin so that Wawrzyk was a soft opponent vs Sasha is not a problem for Wilder's team to do that fight i think

Molina and Wawrzyk are both very poor opponents for a WBC champion, especially since many HWs (Mansour, Browne, etc) want to fight Wilder.

Wawrzyk is also coming off a long layoff due to an auto accident.

Haymon will likely get Wawrzyk a WBC top 15 ranking after a win tomorrow over his 3-14 opponent Patryk Kowoll, who is BoxRec #771 at HW.

But how does that justify a top 15 ranking?

of course Wawrzyk is sooo poor opponent for a title fight. Polish fans are not happy with idea of this fight because it may be another shame for Polish boxing like Kolodziej vs Lebedev, Glazewski vs Breahmer or even just like Wawrzyk vs Povetkin
