unfortunately, you are mistaken sir. kovalev requested that he be allowed to fight for the WBC diamond title. kovalev requested that he be declared the WBC mandatory if he won the diamond title. kovalev requested a 50/50 split of the purse bid if he became the mandatory.
the WBC and stevenson said yes to everything.
once kovalev's bluff was called, he vacated the diamond title and refused to honor the purse bid.
this all took place while he was a television free agent.
it was a blatant duck.
this is all easily verifiable public information.
