Manager Vladimir Hryunov has revealed that Russian heavyweight Alexander Povetkin (21-0, 15KOs) is nearly done with the rehabilitation of the hand injury that he suffered in December's ten round decision victory over Nicolai Firtha. In the early rounds of the fight, Povetkin hurt his right hand but still managed to win a wide points decision. At this time, Alexander is training in Chekhov. In the middle of February he will head to training camp in Kislovodsk, Russia to prepare for a potential April fight.
