I think to Lebedev

 

Agreed. I think Povetkin will fight Tom Schwarz next in September or October. Schwarz is fifth in the WBO ranks. If a fight with Schwarz falls trough he will fight BJ Flores. I think he will be a mandatory challenger in 3 fights time.
Jennings will fight some soft touch.

General Director of K2 Promotions Ukraine Alexander Krasyuk about the participation of Alexander Usik in the World Boxing Super Series:

"On July 6, we will fly to Monaco, where the official procedures of the World Super Series - draw, appointment, will take place on the weekend. There will be discussed and the date of the first battle of Alexander. The very procedure of the draw will take place on Saturday, July 8.

Our tasks are to get an opponent, date and place. I, Alexander Usik, his manager Egis Klimas and coach Sergey Vatamanyuk will be present at the official drawing procedure. Yesterday Alexander flew from Bukovel, where he conducted the stage of general physical training, to Kiev, to catch a plane today.

Thus, the duel of Alexander, which was planned for the end of August in Ukraine, will be canceled. Most likely, Alexander's fight will take place now in September, and depending on who will be the rival, the place will be determined. Perhaps it will be Ukraine, too. "

About the training camp in front of the boxing Champions League

"At the moment, Alexander is preparing a" physics "with Sergei Vatamanyuk, before his coach Rassa Anbera the queue has not yet reached. It's unlikely that new names will appear in the camp of Usik. "

About the expected result of the Ukrainian in the tournament

"8 people, 4 world champions. I'm an engaged person (laughs). Theoretically, of course, we can consider Usika as a favorite. If you raise the question, if there is a chance of winning? Of course have. Are these chances high? High enough. But, according to the rules of the tournament, defeat can be earned not only in the ring. Trauma, for example, or some other circumstances may become decisive. If the boxer is injured during preparation, he leaves the tournament.

Terms of participation of each boxer have already been agreed. It remains only to prepare and otboksirovat. And in our case, and to win. The place of the battle is determined at the discretion of the organizers. Each participant has already agreed to hold a duel in a place that will be offered to him "

"The most likely opponents of Alexander, as a seeded boxer, at the moment I see Marco Hook and Krzysztof Glovatsky. Although the candidacy of the Polish boxer has not yet been finally approved, it is also possible with the Cuban Mike Perez, who recently descended into the "cruiser".

 

Olga Boytsova, the wife of the Russian boxer Denis Boytsova, spoke about her husband's health. Fighters fell into a coma after a head injury, received in the Berlin subway in 2015.

That's what character means, and my daughter and I are his main motivation and support. While we communicate with gestures, but I believe that Denis will soon speak. Therapists lead active work with Denis, and all unanimously say that Denis has a huge potential for a full recovery, "Boytsov told Komsomolskaya Pravda.
