Povetkin: To gain popularity in the UK it is necessary to fight Joshua

Former heavyweight champion Alexander Povetkin stressed that he would love to fight IBF/IBO/WBA champion Anthony Joshua.

"I need to fight Joshua to raise awareness in the UK. I hope that the victory over Price will bring me closer to the battle with Anthony and allow me to make myself known to the English boxing fans. But first you need to get the better of David. For this I will try to be at a distance - this tactic not only should appeal to the audience, but I think it will be a way to my win," Povetkin said.
