The former world champion Sergey Kovalev (30-2-1, 26 KOs) says that the fight against Vyacheslav Shabransky (19-1, 16 KOs) will be the most important duel for him at this stage of his career. "If there was no champion belt at stake for my next fight, I would be discouraged, because I must return. But now this should be very interesting. I am very excited and ready to return my belts. I will fight anyone,” said Krusher.
“I was ready to fight Sullivan Barrera, but he did not agree for the fight, and later we received Vyacheslav Shabransky. Than Andre Ward released the title, and this is an additional motivation. This fight is very important for my future in boxing. I'm glad that this fight will be for the WBO title, because this was the first title I won. But now it's like a new chapter in my boxing career. I'm recharging. I am much stronger than in the last three battles, and you will see it on November 25 in New York.”
“I feel really good, and I hope that everything will be much better than in the last fight. If I'm in my best shape, I will have no problems with Shabransky or anyone else," Kovalev added.
