Who Is Looking To Fight New Interim Champion Alexander Povetkin?
A target is now on Alexander Povetkin’s back, which has resulted in various challengers looking to take on the now-interim WBC Heavyweight Champion. Could a former challenger be looking to avenge a loss?
During the finale of “Matchroom Fight Camp” on August 22, Povetkin took out Dillian Whyte in the fifth round. A two-shot combination was all it took to silence the man who has been the number one contender by the WBC since 2017. It was the 40-year-old’s 25th win via some form of knockout. Someone familiar with Povetkin (36-2-1) in Hughie Fury gave his thoughts on the matter.
