Not trying to be a smartarse but if AJ gets another belt then he would be unified champ.
To me AJ isn't a legit world champion anyway considering what Hearn and Duva did to get fury stripped
I get duva, it was his fighter in the mandatory slot for the IBF I believe but what did hearn do to get fury stripped of the IBF.
Only person really to blame for that is the fury management team for not checking with the IBF or paying to get the mandatory pushed back. That may have forced fury into having the rematch sooner
Hearn had an agreement with Glazkov before the Martin fight that if he won AJ had first dibs.
This was before Fury got stripped as they were top two.

if all goes to plan AJ is due to fight Klit in March for the IBF and WBA Titles, if Parker wins the WBO Title I cant see it be too expensive to bring him over. Wilder might go for a huge paybay next summer at Wembley.
Could have 3 of the 4 titles unified by the end of 2017...
AJ vs Wilder will be a Vegas fight ;)
Does America hold the money in a HW unification between AJ and Wilder or the UK?
America, with the right personality, is the more lucrative country but does Wilder touch that many people in the US?
I think goldenboy would sell the fight plus the celebs turn up for a good heavyweight fight especially with the k.o's on each record. A casino would pay through the nose to stage this fight

Glazkov's team refused to negotiate and forced it to purse bid.

Povetkin actually wasn't positive, Wilder and his team just managed to find some testers that managed to screw up badly enough they couldn't prove Povetkin was innocent all the time straight away. Eventually somehow, as expected, Povetkin turned out to be innocent.
