LAS VEGAS (Desember. 17, 2016) - Sebagai buntut dari berita Sabtu bahwa WBC Interim gelar kelas berat pertarungan di Rusia antara mantan juara kelas berat Piala Emas dan top-peringkat Alexander Povetkin telah dibatalkan karena Povetkin diuji positif untuk obat lagi, Hall of Fame promotor Don “Hanya Di Amerika” Raja menawarkan solusi sederhana:
Menyatakan petinjunya, Stiverne (25-2-1, 21 Biaya), Las Vegas, juara interim.
“Aku sudah hormat lama dengan WBC, dimulai dengan Jose Sulaiman dan sekarang dengan anaknya, Mauricio, yang telah melakukan pekerjaan yang luar biasa mengisi sepatu ayahnya sebagai presiden WBC dan baru saja terpilih kembali untuk empat tahun lagi. Aku berdiri dengan mereka dan dengan WBC untuk mencoba untuk melakukan hal-hal dengan cara yang benar dan dengan prosedur keselamatan organisasi mereka sehubungan dengan petinju dan olahraga.
“Ini menyedihkan tapi orang ini, Povetkin, telah menjadi malu Total. Dia sekarang diuji positif di dua perkelahian gelar kelas berat WBC berturut-turut. Aku semua untuk menang dan kalah perkelahian di atas ring, tapi saatnya keadilan untuk menang. Saya tidak tahu apa yang terjadi di sana dengan begitu banyak atlet Rusia dalam banyak pengujian olahraga positif untuk obat, tetapi harus berhenti. Mereka tidak bisa dibiarkan untuk terus melakukan sesuatu dengan cara mereka.
“The WBC harus menyatakan juara dunia Stiverne, membuat dia wajib untuk (WBC Heavyweight Juara Dunia Deontay) Wilder, dan mari kita lanjutkan dengan itu. Ada banyak perkelahian kelas berat besar yang dapat dibuat dengan petinju bersedia yang tidak melanggar aturan setiap pertarungan.
“Saya sangat kecewa untuk Bermane, siapa yang sekarang hilang melalui dua kamp pelatihan dengan apa-apa untuk menunjukkan untuk itu. Mengapa memasang semua uang itu untuk perjalanan dan biaya dan kemudian tidak bertengkar. Dia sudah siap untuk mengalahkan Povetkin dan mendapatkan kembali bagian dari gelar WBC.
“Dan kemudian - lebih buruk lagi — bagi mereka untuk mencoba dan meletakkannya di Bermane untuk tidak berjuang hanya menggelikan. Mereka mengambil korban dan berusaha menjebaknya sebagai penjahat dalam hal ini.’’
Stiverne ditarik keluar setelah WBC menarik sanksi yang karena Poverkin diuji positif untuk Ostarine zat terlarang. Presiden WBC Mauricio Sulaiman mengungkapkan tes positif oleh Asosiasi Sukarela Anti-Doping (GO) di Sabtu pagi. Kemudian, WBC menarik pengakuan dari pertarungan.
“Tidak ada alasan untuk melawan jika WBC tidak akan sanksi pertarungan,”Kata Stiverne, yang bisa pergi melalui dengan pertarungan tapi tanpa sanksi yang memilih untuk tidak. “Saya sangat kecewa dengan tindakan Povetkin. Saya sudah berlatih selama berbulan-bulan untuk menang.
“Untuk bangun hari pertarungan, sarapan, tidur siang dan kemudian mencari tahu ia dinyatakan positif adalah situasi terburuk.”
Ini adalah kedua kalinya dalam tujuh bulan Povetkin (30-1-0, 22 Biaya) telah diuji positif untuk obat terlarang. Dia dinyatakan positif Meldonium menjelang dijadwalkan pertarungan Mei dengan Wilder, membatalkan pertarungan itu.
Jika itu terjadi, pemenang perjuangan untuk gelar kelas berat WBC interim akan menjadi penantang wajib untuk Wilder. Stiverne kehilangan gelar WBC untuk Wilder pada 12 ronde pada Jan. 15, 2015. Dia satu-satunya tempur untuk pergi jarak dengan Wilder.

Anthony Joshua extended his perfect record to 18-0 dengan 18 knockouts in a dominating defense of his IBF Heavyweight World Championship over American challenger Eric Molina Hari Sabtu on SHOWTIME from Manchester Arena in Manchester, Inggris. UTAMA VIDEO: http://s.sho.com/2hqHTo8.
Joshua floored Molina with a huge left in the third, leaving the Texas native crumpled in the corner. Molina looked dazed and barely beat the count, but he was again in trouble and defenseless seconds later, memaksa wasit menghentikan pertandingan di 2:02.
Setelah pertarungan, Matchroom Sport managing direction Eddie Hearn announced that Joshua will make the third defense of his title on Bulan April 29 against long-reining heavyweight kingpin Wladimir Klitschko at London’s Wembley Stadium.
“Disaster avoided malam ini,” Joshua said. “He started off teeing off with some haymakers early on. There are not too many tactics he can do. It’s hard for him to come in and fight when you aren’t giving him any options. Someone who is boxing with you can give you options, but someone who is boxing on his back feet cannot.”
“This is the start of my story and there will be many more things to come when I step into this ring. I’m not one to talk and I’m not one to mess around, but if I did start talking I think people would find out what I’m all about. I’ve stayed consistent and I’ve stayed patient and I’m still undefeated.”
“We are moving into a huge arena (Wembley). He’s a very respectful man outside of the ring, and he’s very competitive in the ring. This is the step up people have wanted. Klitschko wants his belts back and may the best man win.”
Said Klitschko: “He is the best man in the heavyweight division and his record speaks for itself. This is the fight that the fans want and that is why this fight will happen.”
“Do you want to see a big fight? Do you want to see a fight where two Olympic champs are involved? Do you want to see the fight between A.J. and W.K.? You got it.”

Here is what Joshua and Molina had to say during fight week:
ANTHONY JOSHUA
“Eric is coming here to win and he’s got a goal in his sights and dreams to fulfill. I want to shatter his dreams and keep that title. He gave Wilder a real test, rocked him, and boxed through the fight with an injury. So he’s got ability, power and heart.
“Eric has only lost to the best. He’s looked at as an underdog because a lot of it is about hype. This is his chance to announce himself. He might say he can beat me, but we won’t know until the night if he can pull it off.
“This fight isn’t about Deontay Wilder. Deontay is supposed to be this KO artist with one-punch power and he’s been a pro for eight years now so he’s got vast experience in the game. Eric put up a great fight against him and watching it I thought ‘that’s the type of guy that I want to be in.’ Someone that fights with their heart on their sleeve, that’s why we’re here now. It’ll be a comparison in the back of my mind but that doesn’t make me a better fighter than him or vice versa if I do better or worse than Deontay.
“A man that gets up after being knocked down has my full respect and he has shown he has massive heart. His mentality is that he’s got nothing to lose, and that makes him dangerous. There’s been upsets in the past but that’s not happening at this stage of my career.
“Molina is Wladimir Klitschko, he is David Haye, he is Wilder. He is a hurdle I have to overcome. It’s not about them, it’s about me. I won’t disrespect Eric, but I don’t play games, I come to dominate. I don’t care how long the fight with Molina goes; one or 12 putaran, I just need to dismantle my opponent.
“I’m not fighting Klitschko. He’s going to be there pada hari Sabtu, as is Haye, but they’re not in front of me. Karier saya, my discipline and my consistency, that’s the package that we’ve been sending out to the rivals and that speaks louder than any performance pada hari Sabtu. aku ingin menang, I want to look good and I want to entertain — but the most important thing for me is going in there and doing the job.
“I’m not learning in the shadows, I’m under the bright lights on Box Office in the UK and on SHOWTIME in the U.S. I have to perform every time that I box. There’s so many wolves in the pack that want to come and destroy what I’ve built.
“We’re close to getting some huge fights. If I get through Hari Sabtu then I fight Klitschko; it doesn’t get much bigger, so the division is moving forward. People have just got to be patient and enjoy the ride.
"Amerika Serikat. is a big market for me and I am sure it won’t be long until I make my U.S. debut. Whether that’s against Wilder, kita lihat saja nanti. He’s got the injury to recover from. I have a lot of people asking me when we’re taking the show to the States, but I don’t think they mean Alabama! They are hoping for Las Vegas, Saya pikir — that’s a trip we’d all love to make.”
ERIC Molina
“Knockout is the only way I am going to win. I’m not here to take it on points, I am here to put him on the floor and take his belt. Any heavyweight can KO any other heavyweight, and I can KO Joshua. I’m a hard-punching heavyweight so I am extremely confident.
“I’m unpredictable – and any man in this division can be KO’d on any night. To become champion, that’s the ultimate goal, and I think I have what it takes to knock him out.
“Joshua has great balance, he’s athletic, tall, uses his reach – but there are things about him we don’t know yet and he knows it, terlalu. We know he can punch and has the attributes to become a legend, but that missing piece of the puzzle is the chin. Can he take a punch? He hasn’t taken anything up to this date. A good boxing puncher can KO you with a shot at any given moment.
“I don’t question his stamina, but I do want to see him take a good shot. It’s the big question – and I’ve hurt everybody that I’ve been in the ring with. Does he have grit and determination? We’ll find out.
“I’ve been an underdog all my life so it doesn’t faze me. Joshua is young, dia kuat, he’s got all the attributes of a great champion. But there are a lot of things that he’s yet to experience in the ring, and that’s what I have to capitalize on. Eventually he has to go through those things and get taken to those places that he hasn’t been yet. I have to take him there to win.
“Who else in the last 18 months is going to fight Joshua and Wilder? Who is willing to do that to win? No one wants to get in with this guy. This is my route to get the world title. It’s not about Klitschko, it’s about me. Any man can be destroyed on any given night. Joshua knows that’s true. He’s got to beat me to get the fight, but I have a great chance to KO this guy.
“I don’t pay too much notice to what people think. When I fought Wilder the whole world gave me one round — itu dia. He’s going down in one round, he’s going to get blasted away. I’ve heard it all before, all the negative feedback. Let people think what they want, I feed off it. I have nothing to lose in a fight like this and everything to gain. It’s a very dangerous fight and the type of fight that I really perform in.
“Dillian Whyte has given Joshua his toughest test so far, then probably (Dominic) Breazeale. He hasn’t been pushed. He hasn’t been taken to a place where he’s had to dig deep. There are some holes in his game that we feel we can execute and hurt him.
“Lots of people didn’t want the fight; it’s a business and I wanted it. I’ve shared the ring with Wilder and now I’m going in with Joshua. These aren’t just words; I’m putting it into action, there’s a difference.
“Wilder is the most dangerous heavyweight in the world, Tyson Fury is the most skilled, the combination of both would beat Johsua. The most feared is Luis Ortiz. You have the heavyweights that no one wants to get in with. Everyone is calling everyone out, but when it comes down to it, it means nothing if you don’t get in there. You just have a certain bunch of guys that don’t want to fight another bunch of guys.
“Against Wilder I learned that I can get up. I can fight back and still win rounds. I learned I can fight through an injury; that I can bite down on the gumshield and give more than I ever thought I could give. It was a big stage against Wilder in his backyard so I’ve been on the big stage before. It doesn’t concern me at all – been there, melakukan itu. I’ve lost on the big stage but I’ve also won on the big stage.”
