The reason? Wilpon is tired of Prokhorov stealing the back pages from his most recent on field disaster with his bold proclamations and Russian billionaire charm. On top of just media coverage, Wilpon tells The Apple there is another title at stake.
"This guy is fresh off the boat and he is making these delusional claims.", says Wilpon. "I am the king of delusional claims. He hasn't earned what I have and if he wants my title he'll have to take it from my cold dead hands."
The fight will take place on July 4th at the Atlantic Yards construction site. When asked why not have the fight at Citi Field, Wilpon responded, "I'd rather it be in Brooklyn."
Prokhorov has been tight lipped about the upcoming bout but he did have a few words for The Apple.
"He will lose.", Prokhorov told us. When we asked him if he had any reservations about fighting an opponent so much older than himself, Prokhorov only said, "If he dies, he dies."
