Boxer Alexander Povetkin announced that he will restart his career “TVNZ”.
“Of course, I want to come back. My health does not allow it yet, but it will happen very soon. “I want to meet Dillian Whyte, whom I lost last time, in the ring,” Povetkin said.
The Russian boxer had his last fight with Briton Dillian Whyte on the night of March 28, 2021. The fight, which took place within the scope of the “Battle on the Rock” fight night in Gibraltar, ended with the victory of the British representative with a technical knockout in the fourth round. Thanks to this result, the Briton became the interim owner of the World Boxing Council (WBC) championship belt.
In early October, Povetkin said he only supported Russian fighters and did not know Islam Makhachev, which sparked a wave of criticism.
“I don’t like making excuses. I said it like I said it. You see, I have many Russian friends who fight. They specifically asked me about Makhachev. I know there is such a fighter, but I don’t follow him,” he said. explained Povetkin’s own words.
Previously Povetkin responded to the accusations while drinking alcohol.
