Just recently we learned about a possible fight of Alexander Povetkin (34-2, 24 KOs) on July 12 in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, and now first candidates for the fight with the Russian began to appear. According to unofficial information, the Olympic champion of Athens (2004) and former WBA heavyweight champion can meet Scott Alexander (14-3-2, 8 KOs).
"I still do not think about retirement," said Povetkin, who will soon celebrate his 40th anniversary. For Povetkin it will be a return to the ring after losing to Anthony Joshua last year. Alexander last time fought a year ago, when he lost to Travis Kaufman in close bout. In the first round of this meeting both boxers was knocked down.
