WBC light heavyweight champion Adonis Stevenson wants Sergey Kovalev, the WBO/IBF/WBA champion, to step up and fight. Last December, Kovalev's promoter Main Events had made a request for their fighter to become the mandatory challenger to Stevenson. The request was approved. He then beat Jean Pascal in a WBC eliminator in March.
The WBC set a purse bid for Stevenson-Kovalev, but then Main Events withdrew from the eliminator. They wanted the fight to be on HBO and Stevenson's team want the purse bid winner to select the network.
Stevenson says Kovalev withdrew from the purse bid process to avoid the fight.
