Andrew Ryabinsky promoter mandatory challenger for the WBC heavyweight champion Alexander Povetkin, shared his impressions of the victory over the Russians and Cuban Mike Perez I answered the question, which would like to see a championship fight against Deonteya Wilder.
– Do you think that Povetkin to fight with Wilder one more fight will not need?
– It is possible, but a great need in this. Sasha in a very good shape, we are very well go on fighting and matchmaking. Despite the fact that the fight with Perez ended quickly, the opponent was very serious. All who know boxing know that Perez – a difficult man. Although the fight ended so fast and seemingly easy, in fact it was very important to us. Perhaps Cuban Sasha underestimated or poorly prepared, and maybe vice versa – he was well prepared, but Povetkin is now so strong that for him such rivals already passed stage. And all that will happen next, I can not comment as to be very hard and difficult work. Seriously think about holding the next battle with Wilder.
Povetkin knocked Perez – Perez could somehow expect a rematch? Perhaps this is the position in the contract?
– No, the point about the mandatory rematch we had. Cubans can apply for a rematch, if it really want to make us any suggestions on which we can not refuse. But I do not know what it could be.
– principally to whether you fight with Wilder organization in Moscow, or possible fight abroad?
– Now we have reached a level where we can box and abroad. Perhaps, from a certain point of view it would be interesting to make the fight even, say, in the United States. Of course, all will be needed for victory. And sparrig partners, and the base, and training. All that is needed.
