According to manager Egas Klimas, the next opponent for WBO light heavyweight champion Sergey Kovalev (22-0-1, 20KOs) should be determined by mid-September. Earlier this month in Wales, Kovalev scored the biggest win of his career with a four round destruction of previously undefeated Nathan Cleverly. Kovalev's first defense should be televised by HBO. The top contender to his title is EBU champion Juergan Braehmer, but it hasn't been determined if Braehmer will take that challenge.
