According to overseas sources, WBO #3, WBA #4 and WBC #9 ranked heavyweight Alexander Povetkin (20-0, 15 KOs) could very well take on NABA and Ohio State champion Nicolai Firtha (19-7-1, 8 KOs) in his next fight. If a deal comes together, the fight would be held on December 18 in Berlin on the undercard to the Marco Huck vs. Denis Lebedev cruiserweight showdown. Firtha has won his last three, against Joseph Rabotte, Mike Sheppard and Tony Grano.
