“The tactic was not to rush in the first round, to work calmly and improve and improve as the fight progressed. It turned out that in the first round he landed a right hand, after which I gave him the opportunity to recover, did not finish him off, I wanted to box more. I was preparing for 12 rounds, now I will refine these 11 rounds with a coach on the “paw”.
I studied it, looked at what it does and how it does it, looked at different options for myself. It’s an incomprehensible feeling right now: I’m glad that I won, but I’m not glad that I won so quickly. The previous fight with (Carlos) Takam was interesting for me, but now I didn’t think it would work out like this,” R-Sport quotes Povetkin.
Povetkin's coach Ivan Kirpa, who will now have to take the boxer's blows, praised his pupil after the fight.
“Professional sport is very hard work. I warned Sasha about this at the beginning of our journey. I saw how they built work in their centers and Frank Warren, I remember how he plowed himself. When Sasha goes overboard, we slow down. Not only I work with him, but also... We are all working for the same cause.
Sasha is a very disciplined athlete and understands boxing. Already the third fight we had with him was wonderful. I listen to his suggestions, offer my own options, and somewhere advise not to take unjustified risks,”
— Kirpa admitted to Championship.com.

- said Ryabinsky.

VIP stand
Alexander Povetkin made his first defense of the WBC Silver champion title, knocking out Mike Perez. VIP guests of the boxing evening in Moscow are confident that the Russian’s next opponent, Deontay Wilder, has no chance. However, like Vitali Klitschko.
Singer Maxim:
I came to boxing for the first time and had a great time here. There is such a love for the country. I was already sure that I would never leave the country, but today the guys are boxing so much that patriotism embraces me. I’m not ashamed of Drozd and Povetkin – I want to root for them.
By the way, I do boxing myself, I train close to home, in a specialized manner. Hard! I used to be interested in karate, but the transition to another form is not so easy. Are there sparrings? Where?! I weigh 45 kilograms, and I only have shadow fights.
Nikolai Valuev, world boxing champion, State Duma deputy:
Povetkin is really stronger. I was surprised that Perez fell so early.
- Is Sasha so strong or Perez weak?
No, it's Sasha!
Nikita Mikhalkov, director:
I can’t speak and I’ve wasted so much emotion. So many.
Mikhail Porechenkov, theater and film actor:
Sanya is great, he did everything like that,” Porechenkov gives a thumbs up. “I set myself up for hard work, but everything turned out very quickly.” It's just that the amount of sweat spent in training took its toll in the ring. Well done, he had a great fight. It was exciting, of course, but that doesn’t make the victory any less significant.
- As a viewer, are you upset that it all ended so quickly?
As a viewer, it was fine for me; Povetkin won in a fair fight. I got emotions, now I feel completely high. Plus, there was the wonderful Grisha Drozd. He was in excellent shape, crossed the Pole on his feet, beat him to one wicket and was much stronger.
Ramzan Kadyrov, President of the Chechen Republic:
- “Russian Knight” Alexander Povetkin knocked out Irishman of Cuban origin Mike Perez. It was a lightning-fast battle. Alexander hit Mike with a strong right hook, which unbalanced his opponent. Another powerful blow and Mike fell. But he gathered his strength and stood up. However, Alexander's next blow knocks Mike out. It took Povetkin only one minute and 31 seconds to receive mandatory challenger status for the fight with WBC world champion Deontay Wilder. Congratulations to Alexander on his victory, I wish him new success in the ring! - Kadyrov wrote on his Instagram.

DIRECT SPEECH
The promoter of Russian heavyweight boxer Alexander Povetkin, Andrei Ryabinsky, said that the athlete is ready to enter the ring against WBC champion American Deontay Wilder
“We are seriously thinking about doing a fight with Deontay Wilder, but I can’t say more. Perhaps Sasha will have one more fight before Wilder, but there is no need for this. Sasha is in very good shape. We went through the battles correctly. We have reached such a level that we can box abroad too. From some point of view, it would even be interesting to hold the fight, say, in the United States. It would be interesting,” said Ryabinsky.
Russian boxer Alexander Povetkin knocked out Cuban Mike Perez and will now meet with American Deontay Wilder in a fight for the WBC (World Boxing Council) title.
The Russian boxer's opponent was far from weak. Mike Perez is 29 years old. Born in Cuba, now lives in Ireland. Height: 185 cm. Weight: 110 kg. Lefty. Not a puncher, but has a habit of hitting a lot and often quite hard for his opponents.
Before the fight with Povetkin in the professional ring, Perez had 23 fights with the following results: 21 wins (13 early), 1 draw, 1 defeat. Before Povetkin, Perez suffered his only defeat in 2014 from the American Bryant Jennings (there was a very tense fight, as a result of which the opinions of the judges were divided, but in the end the victory was awarded to the American).
Ivan Kirpa, coach of Alexander Povetkin, said about Perez on the eve of the fight: “Mike has a strong amateur school. I told Sasha: “I know that you understand this, but I still have to say: the fight will not be a gift, the opponent is not a gift, he is a very strong and inconvenient boxer with a good amateur school, with his own fighting style. He knows how to work forward, both in counterattack and interception.” And Sasha and I had no differences of opinion. I highlight Perez as one of the strongest professionals who came from amateurs, with a good Cuban style".
And yet the favorite of the fight was the Russian. For example, bookmakers were confident of his victory. William Hill office: odds for Alexander's victory - 1.14 (early - 2.50, decision - 2.00), Perez's victory - 5.50 (early - 7.50, decision - 9.00).
The predictions came true: Povetkin controlled the fight from the very beginning and confidently won in the 91st second of the fight, knocking out his opponent.
The fight was officiated by the experienced Italian referee Massimo Barrovecchio. He has been working as a referee since 1998. During his 17-year career, he served over a hundred fights as the third man in the ring. His last visit to Moscow took place in May 2014, when the Italian worked on the fights Rakhim Chakhkiev - Santader Silgado and Alexander Povetkin - Manuel Charr. The side judges for the fight were Ian John-Lewis (Great Britain), Barry Lindenman, Len Koivisto (Canada). WBC Supervisor: Hussin Khouchi (Tunisia).
Thanks to a confident victory over Mike Perez, Alexander Povetkin received the right to fight for the WBC champion belt (champion according to the World Boxing Council) with American Deontay Wilder.
Deontay Wilder is the future opponent of Alexander Povetkin in the dispute for the WBC champion title:
REFERENCE:
Deontay Wilder, born October 22, 1985 in Tuscaloosa (USA, Alabama) is an American professional boxer competing in the heavy weight category. Bronze medalist at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Current WBC world champion (since January 17, 2015).
Coach - Mark Breland.
Promoter: Oscar De La Hoya's Golden Boy Promotions.
Managers - Shelley Finkel, Jay Dees.
Deontay Wilder was born on October 22, 1985 in Alabama. He is an up-and-coming American heavyweight boxer, best known for winning two major national amateur boxing titles in 2007 and for being the only American boxer to win a medal at the Olympic Games in the summer of 2008.
Wilder began boxing in October 2005, and two years later he became one of the leaders in the first heavyweight division in amateur boxing.
In 2008, at the Russia-America match, Wilder defeated the most experienced Rakhim Chakhkiev. After Wilder graduated from high school in 2004, he dreamed of playing football or basketball, but due to the birth of his daughter, who was born with a spinal condition, he was forced to focus on a more financially lucrative sport at this stage. At the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, he reached the semi-finals.
Immediately after the Olympic Games he made his debut in the professional ring.
In his first 32 professional fights, Wilder won by knockout! Moreover, none of the fights lasted more than four rounds.
And only the 33rd fight for the WBC championship title against Bermane Stiverne lasted all 12 rounds.
On November 15, 2008, his first fight took place in the professional ring. Deontay knocked out his opponent Ethan Cox in the second round, having previously sent him to the canvas three times. Wilder then fought 8 fights in a row, all of which he won by stoppage in the first round.
Step by step, Deontay Wilder was approaching the pinnacle of his success - the championship title.
On March 15, 2014, in Puerto Rico, Wilder, in a fight for the title of mandatory challenger for the WBC world heavyweight title, met with his compatriot, 33-year-old American spoiler Malik Scott.
Wilder won in just 96 seconds, knocking out his opponent. By the way, this fight caused a lot of controversy and doubts that the fight was fixed and Scott was feigning a knockout. On August 16, Wilder met American journeyman Jason Gavern in an interim bout.
Wilder held a significant advantage from the start of the fight, sending Gavern to the floor of the ring in the third and fourth rounds, and before the fifth period of time, Gavern's corner refused to continue the fight. On January 17, 2015, the championship fight between Deontay Wilder and Canadian Bermane Stiverne took place at the MGM Grand arena in Las Vegas..
The advantage in the fight was on Wilder’s side: the taller American controlled his opponent with a long-range jab, and at the moments when Stiverne tried to break into close range, Wilder greatly shocked his opponent with powerful blows. However, the champion remained on his feet. Eventually
the fight lasted all 12 rounds and ended with Wilder’s victory by unanimous decision - 118:109, 119:108 and 120:107
Thus, Wilder became world champion, failing to knock out an opponent for the first time in his professional career. Wilder later stated that he injured his right hand in the first half of the fight, and the day before the fight he injured his right eye.
