The reigning WBO World Champion defended his title against Igor Mikhalkin in March this year. Once again, he benefited from his incredible power. His Russian compatriot had to throw in the towel after a few hard goals. It was the 28th KO of Kovalev in his 35th professional fight.

Kovalev, who is known for his unbelievable punch hardness, often wins his fights in the first rounds in which he covers his opponents with punches. This was also the case for his first title win in 2013, when he sent Nathan Cleverly onto the boards several times.

For three years Eleider Alvarez has been waiting for his chance to box for the WBO title. “I’ll be ready,” the Colombian confidently stated when asked about the long wait.

Alvarez relies on his jab to keep Kovalev off his back. With him Alvarez recently dominated his two fights against Jean Pascal and Lucian Bate.
