Wladimir Klitschko vs Deontay Wilder (for Undisputed in 2015)
Posted: 08 Sep 2025, 09:24
Shortly after Wilder won the WBC title against Stiverne, Shelly Finkel (who was Wilder's manager and was also associated with Wladimir Klitschko) was asked about Wilder's readiness to fight Klitschko (then WBA/IBF, WBO champ) for all the marbles and define Undisputed at HW.
Finkel responded by saying (direct quote): "Look, Wilder is a baby winning the title. It was his first title fight, they'll be a time for unification, they'll be a time for all those things, he could go and Povetkin (the No. 2 contender) in Russia and make $10 million,” Finkel said to the Tuscaloosa News.
Wilder (who already had about 40 pro fights, at the time) would go on to make voluntary defenses against Molina and Duhaupas. Wlad will lose to Fury at the end of 2015.
But let's say, we would've gotten Wlad vs Wilder for all the belts in 2015. Who would've won?
