I'm going to have to go with Demitri on this one. Wolverine is primarily a close-in brawler who relies on his strength and endurance to outlast stronger opponents. Demitri, on the other had, is capable of a wide variety or attacks, both at range and in close quarters. He's also capable of physically moving far faster than Wolverine, though he doesn't really need to. Demitri can just teleport spam to keep Wolverine at bay while he wears him down.

Wolverine can't be killed very easily, but he can be knocked unconscious. Wolverine can probably kill Demitri up close, he's not going to be able to get there. Demitri can wage a war of attrition; he doesn't need to expend a lot of energy to keep Wolverine at bay, but Wolverine needs to expend a lot of energy to get in range.

On top of all this is the Midnight Bliss attack. He is a Rule 63 machine; the experience of being transformed into the opposite gender - even temporarily - will stagger Wolverine mentally. Then all Demitri needs to do is drain his blood (while avoiding breaking his teeth on the bones) and make Wolverine his thrall. And heal himself in the process.

So yes, overall Demitri wins. My vote may make it seem like a curbstomp, but it's far from it. Demitri has several routes to easy victory, but Wolverine can put enough pressure on him to keep him from using them. This is going to be a long, hard fight for both combatants, and neither is going to be in good shape when it ends. Demitri, however, will likely be able to withstand the duel longer than Wolverine.
