Russian heavyweight Alexander Povetkin (32-1, 23 KO) during his press conference on the upholding of lifelong disqualification for the use of doping made an interesting statement to reporters:
"I do not feel any guilt at all, we are checked for 6-7 times in a row before the battle. How they found something - I do not know. I will continue to prepare for the next battles. I am very pleased that we have achieved justice. Now my whole team will be even more careful with checking everything I take in, I think there will be no problems in the future," Povetkin said.
