“The fight with Povetkin? “If it will be interesting to fans and boxing fans, then why not have this fight?” - quotes the words of Gassiev press service of the Boxing Federation of Russia.

Gassiev has not entered the ring since July 2018, after losing to the Ukrainian Alexander Usik in the final of the World Boxing Super Series. After that, the Russian announced the transition to heavyweight, but his debut has already been postponed several times.

Earlier it was reported that the duel between Russian boxer Alexander Povetkin and Briton Dillian White in the UK was postponed due to a coronavirus.
