By Scott Gilfoid: Unbeaten heavyweight contender Andrzej Wawrzyk (27-0, 13 KO’s) finds himself very much in demand with WBA heavyweight champion Alexander Povetkin (25-0, 17 KO’s) and former WBA heavyweight champion David Haye (26-2, 24 KO’s) both wanting to fight him next, according to fightnews.com.
The 6’5” Wawrzyk will likely agree to face whichever fighter gives him the bigger offer. You would assume that it might be Povetkin given that he’s a world champion, but Wawrzyk, #7 WBA, #14 WBC, isn’t a mandatory challenger, so the money that he would get for a title shot against Povetkin wouldn’t be nearly as good as it would be if he were the mandatory challenger. Haye might be able to get Wawrzyk if he can guarantee him a bigger payday.
