Promoter Kathy Duva said that Cuban Sullivan Barrera is considered as one of the possible rivals for Sergey Kovalev for the late 2017.

"Barrera - one of the options for Sergey. However, we have not had the opportunity to fully discuss the next opponent of Kovalev with either his management or HBO," Duva said. ā€œThe next battle of Kovalev will take place in late 2017, most likely on the East coast or in California. We're still working on this. "

Egis Klimas, Kovalev's manager, also confirmed the information that Kovalev will return to the ring before the end of the year. Barrera himself expressed a desire to meet with WBA champion Nate Cleverly in the United States.
