Kovalev to prepare with McGirt for a fight with Alvarez

Former light heavyweight champion Sergey Kovalev will prepare for the rematch with Colombian Eleider Alvarez with the American coach James ‘Buddy’ McGirt. This was reported by Kovalev himself in one of the social networks.

In August in Atlantic City, USA, Alvarez knocked Kovalev out in the seventh round and took his WBO title. For the fight Kovalev was prepared by Abror Tursunpulatov.

"I decided to continue my career in boxing and train to the rematch with one of the best coaches in the world Buddy McGirt," Kovalev wrote.
