Povetkin on what would have been done with MacGregor and Fury in the USSR

Former heavyweight champion Alexander Povetkin shared his opinion on the behavior of stars of combat sports at press conferences and in everyday life.

“I have no desire to condemn Deontay Wilder, but I’m ready to punch him in the face - there is such a desire, of course. I understand that he is a good boxer, but he was just told to do so. They have their own language there. You see yourself what they say to each other. For this, they can cut off them their tongues. They have a different mentality there. Watch these guys, Conor McGregor or Tyson Fury, who dressed in Batman. When in the USSR, they probably would have been sent to the mental hospital. They would say: "Guys, leave your boxing," said Povetkin in an interview with the Octagon TV YouTube channel.
