“I think it will be a repeat," the American said in an interview to Sky Sports. "The fight will be very similar to the first one. In the end, Povetkin always finds a way to his opponent, so I expect the same ending."
"The fight can go either way, but I think Povetkin's experience will be the difference," said Hunter, who is waiting for news of his fight against Filip Hrgovic (12-0, 10 KOs), which the IBF has appointed as the final eliminator.
“Hrgovic's team has not contacted me yet. Never. I have no signals from them," the American said. "I thought they wanted this fight."
