Former heavyweight champion Alexander Povetkin commented on his possible fight on March 31 in Cardiff against local David Price. The win in this fight may open the road to the winner of Anthony Joshua - Joseph Parker bout, who will meet in the main event of the evening on Principality Stadium.

"I do not care, I did not think about it. It does not bother me at all," Povetkin told journalists, answering a question about fears that the British public might remember his doping stories. - Judging in the UK? I did not think about it at all. My promoters and managers must think about this."

"I do not pay attention to this at all," Povetkin said, referring to the fact of his performance on the undercard. - I'm going to my goal. I hope that there will be this fight (against Joshua). I have already missed so many championship fights that I do not want to think about it anymore. This whole story is very unclear."

"Price is a tall boxer. I have problems with high guys, how to approach them best and how to come forward, break through their guard. We will work on this now. Boxing on enemy's territory is OK for me. I always said that it's easier for me to fight abroad, at home I feel extra presser," the Russian added.
