Ryabinsky: For Povetkin fight against Price is preparing for Joshua

Andrew Karlov Feb. 6, 2018, 8:27 a.m.

Andrei Ryabinsky, the head of the Russian promotion company "World of Boxing" believes that the fight between his ward Alexander Povetkin and British David Price will become a training before the fight with the unified champion Anthony Joshua.

Povetkin and Price will meet on March 31 in Cardiff in the undercard of Anthony Joshua's fight against WBO belt-holder Joseph Parker.

"Sasha thinks that it's easier for him to fight abroad, and for us this is a good story, since we've boxed too much at home. The fight with Price is an excellent preparation (for Joshua). Price is a big guy, but not as cool as Joshua. And we just need a big guy who will be a "simulator", in a good way, then to go out on Joshua. It is necessary to appear in Britain to see Povetkin there," Ryabinsky said.
