Promoters of the former world champion Sergey Kovalev do not believe that the Nevada State Athletic Commission will satisfy their protest against the result of the fight against Andre Ward, said the head of Main Events Katie Duva.

Earlier it became known that the Kovalev team filed a protest against the result of the fight with Ward.

"We asked for [the commission to review the result], but we do not expect a positive result," Duva said. "We filed a protest because it was impossible to leave this case and allow injustice. In other words, we filed a protest to declare we do not expect that the protest will end for us successfully."
