    Before Ward you could have another fight. Are there any candidates?

    I have read in the news that Andrzej Fonfara wants to fight me. I gave this information to Egis, my manager, although he probably got it without me. Then a couple of days there was silence. I asked Egis about the state of things, he said he forwarded this information to the promoter Andrey Ryabinsky, who expressed a desire to make this fight here in Russia. But I understand that Ryabinsky is now very busy with the Povetkin-Wilder fight, which is scheduled for May 21, so we will wait for the decision.

    I really want this fight. I need to fulfill the promise that I gave the parents of Roman Simakov. (After the fight with Sergei Kovalyov December 5, 2011 boxer Roman Simakov has died). I once said that the first my fee will go to his parents, but my first fee was only 5 thousand dollars. It was a fight with Darnell Boone, which Kathy Duva made before she signed contract with me. Well, I gave them five thousand dollars, but was it such a great help? At the same time I had no money left to exist... I even have been caught shoplifting and I am very ashamed of it.

    Why not? After all, it's all true and I am fully responsible for it. Yes, I stole some trifle, bread, pate ... And then I tried to steal my favorite coconut cookies... I've already paid for everything,
    - Why not? After all, it's true. As soon as I am fully responsible for it. Yes, he stole some trifle, bread, pate ... And then got on her favorite coconut cookies. There were half empty packages with it. So I made one of the two. Full package I picked up and other left almost empty. Apparently, they tracked me. I've already paid for everything, and then security turns to me and says: "Young man, come over here!" And he showed me the empty package. Well, not quite empty, there remained about ten. They took from me all documents, all data and then released. No serious consequences. I was treated like a person. These cookies cost five dollars. I explained to them that I really didnt have enough money. That is, just enough for the most necessary products, but for dessert - not enough. In general, I didnt have a real opportunity to seriously help the Simakov's family. Even if I gave the five thousand - it would be nothing. It's like I just got off rather than helped.

    And now, having the fight in Russia, I can really do something for them. You know, Its not easy to live with it. They probably think I'm a murderer, but I did not specifically do that. We were in the same conditions. I didnt have iron in my gloves, Ias some people say. It is impossible, I am not a man, who does such dirty things. But I understand them. They have lost the most precious thing that they had in life, their child, their son, and they blame me for that. Apparently, the Roman had some health issues. Some people say when he worked as a sparring partner for Arthur Abraham and Robert Stieglitz, he took a lot of punches, all of this could have affected his health. In general, it has formed a kind of predisposition for what happend in our fight. I would really like to meet Roman Simakov's parents in person and give them what I want to convey. Personally, not hiding, and looking them in the eyes. It's important for me. I cant bring their son back, but something must be done.

    I've seen lots of people on here try characterizing him as some monster who is remorseless about the death of Simakov, which has never rung true for me (having followed Kovalev since before Simakov's death, unlike virtually all of those people) and this just reinforces what I've suspected, that it still haunts him to this day.

    Also, what a great story it would make if he ends up famous enough in Russia to get a sponsorship deal with the makers of his "favorite coconut cookies" with his face on the packaging? :D

    Kovalev has always been the good guy. It's Golovkin who's sadistic and would kill another boxer without any remorse whatsoever.

    Nah, I dont think think GGG is sadistic, but he is two-faced. Kovalev and GGG have strong killer instinct, but Kovalev doenst have that fake smile like GGG, I can tell it cuz I seen many interviews in russian with GGG, he is completely different person when he speaks russian.

    Kovalev maybe a racist, but he doesn't seem a psychopath.

    He isn't even a racist. Pascal's smear campaign was ridiculous.

    Yeah, I doubt a racist would train in a gym where the people are like 90% black.

    His entire ****ing corner team except 1 person is black. His corner team looks like TMT in-between rounds.

    GGG is extremely cold, I don't see him having any problems with killing someone. He used to beat random people on the street for fun.

    It's ridiculous how Kovalev is promoted as some sort of villain while GGG is a "good boy". It's the other way around

    It often came across that way to me too, I think it's his broken English and just being a foreigner that gives off the ditzy, happy go lucky vibe.

    Nah, I call BS. GGG plants trees, sent $100,000 worth of spring water to Flint, Michigan, volunteers at an animal shelter, and helps old ladies cross the street.
