Holyfield has fought in Zurich in the past, losing a controversial twelve round majority decision to then WBA champion Nikolia Valuev in 2008. Holyfield was ringside on Saturday in Germany as Povetkin decisioned Ruslan Chagaev to capture the vacant WBA crown.

Why the hell Zurick? Make this fight in Russia. In Russia old-hats like RJJ, Holyfield can still draw a huge crowd because of their name.

More people came to see RJJ in Russia than they ever would in USA.

Absolutely disgraceful.

to Povetkin.

I can't believe he is potentially fighting a 48 year old Holyfield who has done nothing to earn a title shot.

Povetkin will win easily.

Not only is this disgraceful it's embarrassing for the sport. I'll lose all respect for Povetkin if he takes this fight.

That shows you what kind of promoter Sauerland is - absolutely horrible - how can you do such a joke fight - this is a disgrace for boxing. I already hear all the critics around the world.....
