Meet Alexander Povetkin: Future heavyweight champion
That Alexander Povetkin will earn a share of the heavyweight title is a no-brainer. They hand out heavyweight championship belts at the Russian border. In Povetkin, however, we may have something special. Aggressive, strong, active, powerful and athletic, he has burst out to a 12-0 (10 KOs) record to start his pro career after winning the gold medal at super-heavyweight in the 2004 Olympics.
Take a look at Povetkin’s recent KO of Patrice L’Heureux and you’ll see why ESPN’s Dan Rafael calls him “the best heavyweight prospect in the world,” and why Povetkin may be the next great heavyweight in boxing.
