Interim WBC heavyweight champion Alexander Povetkin admitted that he was greatly annoyed by former cruiserweight champion Marco Huck. In 2012, a Russian defeated a German of Bosnian descent by a majority decision.
“I can't fight well when I'm pissed off. There is such a boxer Marco Hook. He's such a guy... You can say that he makes me angry and I hate him. This is bad. When I fought with, I didn't do well.
"If he hit me at a press conference or weigh-in, I would hit back without even thinking. I would not even have time to think. Press conferences are a show, someone makes faces. I am normal and calm about it.
"Monkey does not know how to behave. What annoyed you? With their antics, their actions, statements, it happens," Povetkin said.
