Anthony Joshua-Alexander Povetkin Schwergewicht Titelkampf
September 22, 2018 -
Der ungeschlagene Schwergewichts Weltmeister Anthony Joshua tritt gegen den Russen Alexander Povetkin im zwingend vorgeschriebenem
Pflichtkampf für die IBF, IBO und WBO Schwergewichttitel an, sowie um die WBA Superkrone.
Joshua, the 2012 Olympic champion, has notched up 21 wins since turning professional in 2013, and currently holds the IBF, IBO, WBO and WBA crowns, after defeating New Zealand’s Joseph Parker in March.
Povetkin, the mandatory WBA challenger, has won 34 matches since making his professional debut in 2005, with a sole defeat coming against Wladimir Klitschko in 2013.
The winner is likely to seek a bout with WBC title-holder Deontay Wilder to unify the heavyweight division for the first time since 1999.
