Russian heavyweight Alexander Povetkin will step into the ring on December, 5. The boxer, who is ranked first in the IBF rating, will fight in Germany on a Sauerland Event show. The opponent of Povetkin is yet to be announced.

“We hope this stage of our preparation will be as successful as the training camp in the USA" - told Povetkin’s manager Wladimir Hryunov to Pro-Box.ru. – "Povetkin is full of enthusiasm, it’s always interesting to work with Atlas, and when Sasha feels that he is improving, he works much harder – which is something he lacked a bit in his last bouts. His sparring-partners have already arrived to Chekhov, one of them is from the USA”.
