NEW YORK – Kathy Duva isn’t unrealistic. The veteran promoter recognizes that the Sergey Kovalev-Andre Ward showdown won’t resonate with casual boxing fans the way the long-awaited Floyd Mayweather Jr.-Manny Pacquiao clash inspired them to make pay-per-view history in May 2015.
Andre Ward (30-0, 15KOs) has been aware of Sergey Kovalev (30-0, 26KOs), but he hadn’t watched much of him. That was mutual; Kovalev hadn’t seen much of Ward either back when Ward was competing at 168 and Kovalev at 175. They’re both light heavyweights now and due to meet on Nov. 19.
Andre Ward is both complimentary of Sergey Kovalev while also being confident that he will prevail over the light heavyweight titleholder when they meet on Nov. 19 in Las Vegas.
