Results round-up:

Ryan Ford beat Joaquin Murrieta via 4 round technical decision.

 

“The whole time I worked with John David Jackson, he gave me nothing,” Kovalev said. “I got nothing from him except mitts work. I didn’t feel him [helping] in the ring because everything in my preparation was constructed myself. … I don’t wanna say any bad words [about Jackson]. He’s a nice guy, but he’s not the coach for me. He’s not enough coach for me.”

“A coach should help you inside the ring, in between rounds, when you have one minute for rest,” Kovalev said. “To explain or be able to help you [with] say tactics. Where and when to punch, I know myself because I’m in boxing since I was 11. But he should say tactics – how to open his target or [how to] move to the left or right, or back or forward. Because emotions and adrenaline of every fighter inside the ring is very high. Fighters don’t see like a lot of things [trainers] can see from the side.”

What Sergey is saying is [Jackson] might be a good trainer and he is a good guy,” Klimas said, “but at this point he thinks he needs a teacher who can take him to the next level.”

Klimas also addressed Jackson’s contention that Kovalev didn’t listen to his instructions and essentially tried to train himself.

“Then he’s not a trainer,” Klimas said. “When he had a trainer come from Russia, he didn’t dictate to the trainer. A good trainer, when it comes to good training, he dictates to the fighter what to do. If the fighter says to the trainer what we’re gonna do and how we’re gonna do it, then he’s not a trainer.”

Dmitri Bivol/Trent Broadhurst on November 4 for Badou Jack's vacant title. This fight will happen in Monaco and will be shown on HBO.

 

I laugh at a rumour that Bivol will sign with Hearn he has a long-term contract with World of Boxing, pure fantasy.

 

"A fight against Jack can only happen if there is a unification. In boxing, things can always change quickly, but the mandate I have is to organize a fight between Stevenson and Alvarez. There was never any question of Alvarez leaving his position [as Stevenson's next opponent]," Michel said.

"My recommendation will be to present the event at the end of January, the 20th or the 27th. Both boxers are ready to wait for the time it will take," Michel said.

"The first stage of training, which I conducted in Big Bear under the leadership of Sedov Alexander Mikhalych, was successfully completed. And today began the second stage of training, a boxing camp, under the guidance of the boxing trainer Abror Tursunpulatov. There is a common understanding of what and how to prepare. And this is the main thing. I hope that our joint work will bring a new success in my career as a boxer. All the will of God. God help us, "- wrote Sergey Kovalev in social networks.

Ali Akhmedov update:

Ali Ahmadov: There were proposals from the promotional company Mayweather, but for now we are considering all options

#boxinginterview @ kazproboxing

Kazakhstani boxing professional Ali Ahmadov (9-0, 7KO) in early December will hold mandatory protection of his title - the belt of the "youth" world champion under the WBC light heavyweight title. In Round Rock (USA, Texas), Ahmedov will meet with American Deshon Webster (9-0, 6KO).

In an interview with the correspondent of the Republican Internet portal Sports.kz, one of the best domestic prospects told about preparations for the upcoming battle.

- Preparation is going well. We are already completing the main part of the work. December 4, fly to America. They looked through the rival - they worked out a special job for him, saw what the enemy has weaknesses, - said Ali Ahmedov.

- The future opponent - than he is dangerous, and where you will have the opportunity to catch him?
"It's premature to talk about it." The rival is good, does not know defeats, which also means a lot. He also has good experience in amateur boxing - he won several prestigious tournaments in America. Pretty well built, well-moving legs. In a word, I will say that the battle promises to be interesting.

- BoxRec rated this fight only in one star out of five, while the previous one your fight with American boxer Justin Thomas (18-2, 7KO) got two stars. Does not it confuse you?
- No, absolutely, - because I did not pick my opponent. This boxer was chosen in the WBC as the official contender for the championship title. And in the ranking Deshon Webster is not at the lowest position.

- Do you expect that you will be able to win confidently?
"I never expect an easy fight." I am adjusting for the most difficult fight. And further, already, during the battle, we will look for options, exits. And to make plans, it will be difficult or easy to fight - I think this is one of the main mistakes in professional boxing.

- There was information that you can perform in the evening of Firuza Sharipova's boxing in Almaty.
"The option that I'll be boxing there is possible. But I would not want to run ahead. First we need to fight in America, and then we will gradually go on to the next stage.

- Do not you think a strange situation when a boxer who owns the WBC champion belt appears on the undercard of a sportswoman who can not boast of such achievements?
- It does not bother me. I do not pay attention to such moments. I'm just glad that I have the opportunity to box on my native land, as in the future there will rarely be a chance to fight at home. Therefore, I want to box as often as possible in front of my fellow countrymen. I do not go to the ring to head the card, but in order to show good boxing, to prove myself.

- You have already said more than once that you do not want to hurry and sign an agreement with promoters in America. Surely, after winning the WBC champion title for youth, many US promoters are once again interested in you?
- Suggestions come. There are many of them. But I would not want to hurry to conclude a contract. We went through a serious path - 9 fights were already held, the first title was won, it was strengthened in the 50th rank of the world rating. Take hurry and contract - it would be a mistake. We'll complete the fight, finish the year - and we'll see what happens next.

- It is known that interest in you showed Floyd Mayweather, Sr. ...
- Yes, there were proposals from the promotional company Mayweather. Companies from New York, Miami, Russia, Poland also addressed. So far we are considering all options. We listen to people, weigh everything. Having gone this way, it would be foolish to hurry.

"Last time you fought in September." After that there was a pause. How useful was it?
- In principle, I think that I was able to recover well. Honestly, I already missed the ring. I want to feel the atmosphere of the arena again. And so, I feel fine and I am preparing to make the Kazakhstanis happy again with a good fight.
