Povetkin's team is expecting problems with Hammer's team,there will be reserve just in case.

"It's impossible to exclude any complicated moments on the part of the opposing team that can be associated with various factors.With their arrival here they can begin to twist our hands on different points, change again the conditions that they do not like something or something, then we need to add something that we do not exclude, so we are negotiating with several boxers and once we sign a replacement agreement we will definitely announce, "Titov told journalists.

"So it was not a surprise for anyone that no one later said that they found some strange person who came out in sneakers, so we'll announce everything." You will see that this boxer is a worthy substitute, and Alexander's team will know about it But I want to believe that the fight will be with Hammer, "he said.

Titov explained why it is important to fight with Hammer. "The Hammer is needed now for Sasha to be recognized as an official contender and given him the chance to box for the world title, which is our main common goal," he added.

 

Hammer's team changed contract several times while negotiating with Povetkin's team.

 

I think Tom Schwarz, Zhilei Zhang and Bjflores are possible for the reserve spot.

 

They changed the contract for various reasons, money and some extras were some of the reasons. So there is no guarantee they will not do it again. Considering circumstances Schwarz who is 2 in WBO, Zhilei who is 8 in WBO and Bj Flores who is 11 in WBA aren't bad choices for the reserve.

 

Co-promoter of the Povetkin's fight about the BJ Flores as the possible substitute for Hammer:

"We are talking with him, too." We will announce the name of the reserve as soon as we sign a contract with him, "Titov said, explaining this decision with the fear that Hammer may refuse to fight
