This could be reverse psychology by Kov. So don't be fooled.

I don’t think Kovalev would bullshit his hometown fans just to get Canelo’s attention...

Comments Thread For: Kovalev-Yarde Finally Confirmed For August 24 in Chelyabinsk

Event handlers in Russia seem to believe they have finally nailed down plans for Sergey Kovalev's homecoming.

The three-time light heavyweight titlist is set to defend his crown versus unbeaten mandatory challenger Anthony Yarde. Their long-discussed bout will take place on August 24 at Traktor Sports Palace in Kovalev's hometown of Chelyabinsk, Russia.

News of the pairing's finalization was confirmed on Friday by the Russian Boxing Federation, who will oversee the event, although BoxingScene.com has since learned that a fight with Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez is still being negotiated as of Friday morning.

No doubt, canelo wants not only a cw, but will demand a rehydration clause. Completely pointless fight. Plenty of foes for canelo to face at middleweight

There’s talk of Canelo going for the heavyweight title.An all Mexican shootout with Ruiz at a catch weight of 184.Ruiz is considering having one of his legs removed.
