Ryabinsky and Duva working together on Kovalev's next fight in Russia, in Summer

Ryabinsky: "We plan that Kovalev comes to Moscow. Together with Kathy Duva we gonna make his next fight in Moscow, in Summer!"

Совместно с Кэти Дува (Main Events) сделаем бой Сергею в Москве летом!— Рябинский Андрей (@Ryabinskiy) 31 января 2016 He went to Canada twice and he fights anyone in any place. He deserves to KO some unfortunate light heavyweight contender in Russia.

Boesel and Valera are pretty low level, Mohammedi/Caparello level - no thank you. Braehmer/Oosthuizen happens in March for the WBA regular title, the winner would be good, but Oosthuizen signed with Haymon last April. Fonfara would be great, but again Haymon. Maybe Chilemba or Gonzalez, but Russian tv might not approve. When Povetikin fought in Russia, the network insisted on Jose Luis Castillo over more talented fighters because he was a name. I could see them asking for Chad Dawson.

Who are they going to attempt to bring over? WBA interim champion Felix Valera, he fought in russian once and won there WBA will soon have all its champiion fight eachother anyway

He would have to face the next rated challenger in the IBF soon. There's currently no one rated no.1 by the IBF. Beterbiev is rated no.2, and that would be the biggest fight to make in Moscow, but he's coming off shoulder surgery and last time his team declined the fight. Dominic Boesel is rated no.1 by WBO and that could be someone they target next.

Possible opponents? It's probably going to be a trilogy with pascal lol

Who are they going to attempt to bring over?

So basically no stevenson... Hopefully we get a beterbiev fight, but beterbiev already turned it down last year, so I doubt it gets made..
