Kovalev's Promoter: Pascal Fight is Done For 3/14

By Steve Kim

According to the head of Main Events, which handles IBF/WBA/WBO light heavyweight titlist, Sergey Kovalev, a fight between 'the Krusher' and Jean Pascal has been consummated for the spring of 2015.

"It's done,"said Kathy Duva to BoxingScene.com on Tuesday morning.

She explained further - ''The date is the 14th of March, the venue will either be the Bell Centre in Montreal or the Pespi Coliseum in Quebec City."

This fight will be on pay-per-view in Canada and broadcast on HBO in the States.

Pascal is the top ranked contender in the WBC for Adonis Stevenson's title but chose to face Kovalev, who's coming off a defining victory on November 8th over Bernard Hopkins.

"Jean Bedard (of Interbox) came to me about two weeks ago and said 'We'd like to make this fight,' and I said,'great,' and we spoke back and forth a few times and we met on Friday and we made a deal," said Duva.

The deal is contingent on Pascal prevailing over Bolonti on December 6 and on the IBF granting Kovalev a special exception to postpone his mandatory title defense against Nadjib Mohammedi.
