Dmitry Ivanov, manager of former heavyweight champion Alexander Povetkin, commented on David Price's recent statement that Povetkin has something to lose and he hopes that the Russian will come out to fight him "clean."
"David Price's words are probably related to his inner insecurity, since Alexander Povetkin is a very serious rival for him. To date, Alexander Povetkin undergoes all the necessary doping procedures, regulated by VADA," Ivanov said.
Povetkin continues training in his training camp in Sochi for the match scheduled for March 31 against the British David Price. Now Alexander undergoes sparring, and Price's compatriot, 30-year-old Gary Cornish (25-2), joined the experienced 35-year-old heavyweight Alexander Dimitrenko (41-3, 26 KOs) and 24-year-old Ukrainian Alexander Zakhozhy (6-0, 5 KOs). His height is 201 cm and his weight is 112 kg.
