By Ruslan Chikov

According to sources, WBA "regular" champion Alexander Povetkin (24-0, 16 KOs) is possibly going to make his mandatory defense against former WBC champion Hasim Rahman (50-7-2, 41KOs) in late May. Povetkin's manager Vladimir Hryunov has approached Sauerland Event to discuss the possibility of staging Povetkin-Rahman in Moscow. Hryunov expects a final decision, on the date and location, in the next couple of days.
