Adonis Stevenson vs. Sergey Kovalev

Unlike any other weight class, the Light Heavyweight division reaps two fighters who are head and shoulders above the rest, Adonis Stevenson and Sergey Kovalev. Both want to be slated as the unified champion, and only a meeting between the pair will settle the score.
Like with any major fight, there have been stumbling blocks in getting this one finalized. Kovalev’s promoter, Kathy Duva of Main Events, pulled out of the purse bid back in April over which network the bout should be televised on.
It’s all been a bit messy, but both have quickly and decisively cleared out the division. It’s a titanic clash that will showcase their explosive power, as well as their often underrated boxing technique.
