On March 31, at the 80,000 arena of Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales, the 38-year-old former world champion Alexander Povetkin scored a bright stoppage victory in the fifth round over 2-meter Brit David Price. This fight was held in the undercard of the unifying battle of two unbeaten world champions - Anthony Joshua and Joseph Parker - and "AJ" celebrated the victory.
According to the promoter of the show Eddie Hearn, he is ready to organize for Povetkin the next fight against Dillian Whyte. At the same time, Povetkin's promoters declare that they are ready to "lure" Joshua with a multi-million purse to one of the stadiums in Russia this fall.
