Russian boxer Sergey Kovalev is able to fight for the championship belt in the first heavyweight. About it “RBC-Sport”said the ex-world boxing champion Grigory Drozd.
On the night of May 15, the Russian defeated the Bulgarian Tervel Pulev in the American Inglewood by unanimous decision. The fight took place in the first heavy weight.
– It’s a wonderful victory, the break was long, but he had a good fight. Heavy weight, another category. Sergei laid a great start for himself. He has a good, sharp and strong punch. His striking technique helps him at any weight.
I think that Sergey can fight for the belt in the first heavy weight, he can fight champion fights, you can even call him a shadow favorite. The only question is health and physical condition. And in terms of experience and mentality, he is definitely ready to fight for the belts,” said Drozd.
For the 39-year-old Kovalev, this was the first fight since the summer of 2019. His track record now includes 35 wins, four losses and one draw.
