Alexander Povetkin on the eve of a fight with Anthony Joshua said that he has become stronger and that he is in much better shape than before the fight with Wladimir Klitschko. The battle of Joshua and Povetkin will be on September 22 in London. Povetkin is a mandatory challenger for one of the Joshua’s titles.

"I'm in very good shape, I had a good training camp, Joshua is one of the strongest heavyweights in the world, I'm happy that I have the opportunity to go out with him in the ring and give the fans a good fight. Anthony is a strong fighter, but I'm just as strong. When I fought Klitschko, I was much weaker and was in poorer condition than now," Povetkin said.
