The win gave Kovalev the WBC's Diamond title and also made him the mandatory challenger to Stevenson. Before they can discuss a possible fight, they have other obligations. Kovalev has an IBF mandatory that he needs to satisfy and Stevenson defends his title against Sakio Bika on April 4th.

More than a year has passed since an anticipated fight between power-punching light heavyweights Sergey Kovalev and Adonis Stevenson fell apart, with Stevenson signing with powerful boxing adviser Al Haymon and bolting from HBO, leaving Kovalev seeking opponents and opportunities. Much has changed since then. Kovalev has since beaten Bernard Hopkins and holds three world titles. Haymon’s boxing empire has expanded to include the launch of his “Premier Boxing Champions” venture on several networks. Stevenson has stayed busy but has missed out on fights with Hopkins and now Jean Pascal, who Kovalev is facing Saturday night in Montreal.

Jean Pascal has no respect for his countryman, WBC light heavyweight champion Adonis Stevenson. The two Haitian-born Canadian stars have a real rivalry brewing. They respective agents were in talks last year to stage a fight for this coming April. They were unable to reach an agreement. Pascal is the mandatory challenger to Stevenson's title. He could have sat back and waited for the opportunity to fight for that belt.

The World Boxing Council has ordered Stevenson to face the winner of that contest.
