Kathy Duva, promoter of WBO light heavyweight champion Sergey Kovalev stressed that her fighter is ready for a meeting with Dmitry Bivol, unlike Bivol himself.
"I think Dmitry Bivol needs a little more time. He's a world champion, but it's Sullivan Barrera who will be his first real test. He has a lot of work ahead of him, later, when the moment comes and the audience will know him better, we will organize his fight with Kovalev. Sergey is ready to fight Bivol at any time," said Duva.
