What have the fighters been saying?

Anthony Joshua

“I don’t see any reason why the Wilder fight wouldn’t happen next. It’s like telling a kid there is no Santa, they won’t believe it. I don’t believe this fight shouldn’t happen next if I get past Povetkin.

“We were close a few times of getting it done. I’ve already signed my part of the contract. I’m about doing the business, and then talking about it. Wilder can come on Sept 22. If he wants to get in the ring, that’s no problem, but he ain’t getting in the ring unless he signs a contract. You’re not going to make a name out of this. Sign the contract and let’s talk about the fight.”

Alexander Povetkin on positive tests for banned substances

“I have nothing to do with it, and I am very well deserved of the fight I’m getting [with Joshua]. I am here for a reason, this was a mandatory. I had to defeat other opponents to get this position. I have no idea [what happened]. After the first time I was caught I signed a secondary anti-doping full-time testing programme. I am clean and I know that I was clean then.”
