A source out of Germany has advised BoxingScene.com Alexander Povetkin (17-0, 12KOs) will likely face Leo Nolan (27-1, 10KOs) on December 5 in Germany. Povetkin's side passed on a possible fight with Owen Beck and didn't reach terms with Cedric Boswell.

Nolan has never fought any fighters on Povetkin's level. He managed to upset Lou Savarese back in 2004 but was upset himself by Hector Ferreyro in 2007. Povetkin, the IBF mandatory, is taking this fight before a showdown in 2010 with champion Wladimir Klitschko.
