Adam Kownacky, Erkan Teper, Timur Stark and Andrey Rudenko is going to spar with Povetkin, to help him get ready for a fight with Hammer. "It's good players, so I'm happy with the selection of sparring partners," said coach of Aleksander Povetkin.
“It was a good win,” Hearn said during the post-fight press conference. “Mariusz Wach, TKO-9, is a very, very good scribe on a heavyweight’s career. He’s been beaten a couple of times by high-level guys. Wladimir Klitschko, Povetkin, these are top, top guys [fighters]. And Jarrell wore him down. I think Jarrell has a lot of learning to do. I think he shouldn’t be stepping in just yet [with Joshua]. He needs one or two more before he gambles. And again, I’d like to see him bank the money. This is a tough, tough sport. Bank the money before you gamble, and that’s what Jarrell Miller needs to do.” “I’d love him to box on our card in April,” Hearn said. “He’s from Brooklyn as well. You know, he’s an exciting fighter. He learned so much fighting the likes of Mariusz Wach, but again, Mariusz Wach, TKO-9, is a very, very impressive win and puts him probably one or two steps away from fighting for the world heavyweight title.” Source: box scene
Boxing heavyweight Izuagbe Ugonoh (17-1, 14 KO) told that he had already returned to training from a break related to health problems. For now, it is not known when a competitor from Gdansk will reappear between ropes. - At the beginning of 2018, I will make plans. Will I re-train to the States, or will I stay in Poland? We'll see it all. For the time being, I'm not saying when I'm fighting. I have several ways I could go. There is no doubt about it, "said Izu.

Former world heavyweight champion Artur Szpilka (20-3, 15 KOs) started his training with Andrzej Gmitruk on Monday. The training base of the newly created pair will be in Warsaw, and on the sparring matchmaker from Wieliczka may fly to London. - I will train at the Warsaw Athletics Center, but it is not said that I have to do every training here.

So who will Dillian Whyte fight in Feb? I'm hoping its Miller or Duhaupas. And Hearn can package Takam - Kabayel on the undercard.
