    Four hot prospects and one amateur boxer help Russian Alexander Povetkin (34-1, 24 KOs) to prepare for a fight against IBF/WBA/WBO/IBO heavyweight champion of the world Anthony Joshua (21-0, 20 KOs). His sparring partners from left to right are: Oleksandr Zakhozhyi (8-0, 6 KOs), Petar Milas (12-0, 9 KOs), Wladimir Katsuk (amateur), Daniel Dubois (8-0, 8 KOs) and Vladyslav Sirenko (9-0, 8 KOs).

    Povetkin looks tiny, has he lost weight? He barely looks 200lbs.

    That's what's so great about the HW division. Pov looks 2 weightclasses below all those guys, and I'd favor him against all of them anyway.

    You can bet Dubois have put Povetkin down a few times during this sparring sections.

    Good for Vlad Sirenko as well. I hope he will get noticed by some promoter.
