| Alexander Povetkin's Options: Dimitrenko is a Possibility
|
|
By Luke Furman Although there have been some reports in the media that on the 17th of December, in Switzerland, Alexander Povetkin (22-0, 15 KOs) will face Evander Holyfield (44-10-2, 29 KOs), the fight is not yet a foregone conclusion, according to Povetkin's manager Vladimir Hryunov. According to Hryunov, there are ongoing negotiations with several fighters - including European heavyweight champion Alexander Dimitrenko (31-1, 21 KOs). "At the moment we are negotiating with five to six fighters, and among is Alexander Dimitrenko. For now, the final decision is still far away," Hryunov said.

I think Povetkin has declined since he started working with Teddy.
Dimitrenko isn't great, but I think he'd KO Povetkin. |

why is it that every guy named as a possible next opponent for Povetkin gets the same response: '' WHO?" -- tempted to blame Atlas for overprotecting his guy but the truth is that with the exception of the K bros, there are no credible HWs out there for Povetkin to fight -- the HW division has be... |

Dimitrenko is no great shakes as a fighter but he's a hell of a lot better than Holyfield at this stage. Makes sense as well if Povs really wants Wlad somewhere down the line.
Rematch with Chambers might be nice, but I doubt Povs wants anything to do with Eddie now. |
