Full video of the battle that took place on August 31 at the O2 Arena, and in which former world heavyweight champion Alexander Povetkin (34-2, 24 KOs) met the former world title contender Hughie Fury (23-2, 13 KOs). At stake was the title of WBA international champion. For Fury it was a debut under the banner of the promotional organizations Matchroom Boxing with which he had signed a contract recently. For 39-year-old Povetkin it was the third fight in the UK, and perhaps the last chance to reach the level of the championship fight again.

After yesterday's victory over Hughie Fury Alexander Povetkin (35-2, 24 KOs) said he now wants to meet Tyson Fury (28-0-1, 20 KOs), the eldest cousin of his Saturday opponent.

Also this evening there will be an interesting heavyweight confrontation between former world champion Alexander Povetkin (34-2, 24 KOs) and former heavyweight title contender Hugh Fury (23-2, 13 KOs).

"I'm just going to box. I will not be charged for the knockout," said the former world heavyweight champion Alexander Povetkin about the upcoming fight on August 31 in London against Hughie Fury. "Hughie Fury is young athlete with great skills. I take him very seriously. I worked on the transition to the infight. I trained with tall sparring partners, tried to approach closer, worked hard to pass the jab, do not miss it, and to perform any combination under it: dodging, making a step toward."

Alexander Povetkin (34-2, 24 KO) and  Hughie Fury (23-2, 13 KOs) met face to face before their Saturday's fight in London. For the Russians it will be a return to the ring after last year's TKO defeat to Anthony Joshua. Last time 24-year-old Fury fought in July.
