"Povetkin is sure gonna be knocked out in the later rounds," The Head Hunter says, who is a slight favorite by the bookies. "Now I'm a fighter avoided by everyone. I make my opponents run in horror. It was very difficult to make Povetkin sing the contract for this fight, but eventually we succeeded. It will be a great fight!"
The winner of the fight between Povetkin and Hunter will become the official WBA challenger. In the main event of this evening Anthony Joshua (22-1, 21 KOs) will meet in a rematch with Andy Ruiz Jr. (33-1, 22 KOs) for the WBA, WBO and IBF heavyweight titles.
