34 years old Russian heavyweight hope Alexander "Russian Vityaz" Povetkin (26-1-0(18 KO) rated number 1 in Russia and number 9 in the world will face only once beaten 29 years old German Manuel "Diamond Boy" Charr (26-1-0(15 KO) rated number 3 in Germany and number 21 in the world this Friday, May 30 in Luzhniki, Moscow, Russia. It will be a 12 rounds bout with vacant WBC International heavyweight title at stake.
Alexander Povetkin comes to this fight
after his first professional loss by unanimous decision in one sided
fight against Wladimir Klichko (60-3) on September 2013. Before that he
was quick with the unbeaten Pole Andrzej Wawrzyk (27-0) on May 2013, it
took only 3 rounds for Povetkin to destroy him.
Manuel Charr comes to this fight after
the win by unanimous decision against "Bob Sapp of boxing" American
Kevin Johnson(29-5-1) on April this year. Charr won the fight by wide
margin, but in fact it was a close fight. Before that Charr won a fight
by TKO round 5 against Denis Bakhtov (36-8) from Russia on October 2013.
Bakhtov injured his hand during the fight and was unable to continue
after 5 very competitive rounds.
Both fighters are defeated only by
Klitchko brothers. Both were paper champions and now the winner can get
the shot at WBC Champion Bermane Stiverne....
The fight is much looked forward to with Amir Khan stepping in the ring after a long time. With or without cable, watch Amir Khan Vs Terence Crawford live online from anywhere!
