This notion comes from Kovalev complaining about body shots to the belt line earlier in the fight vs. Ward. Plus JDJ keeps barking that Kovalev can't take it to the body and he was his trainer for a long time.

Against Ward 2 couple low numerous not that bender you in half and you quit. Yarde who should have body hunted all along when he did it he had you ready then you boxed round of your life schooled him

“I can’t tell you what it’ll be”

Yeah he’s not offering much in the way of place your bets on me winning. I hope I’m wrong and have been wrong about this being his retirement fund fight.

What was he going to say? If it actually wasn't true, he'd be saying it was true to encourage opponents to waste their time throwing body shots.

If it is true, he'd be well advised to deny it, pretty much like he's doing, no?
