According to him, at the moment he is feeling optimally and he has a desire to continue performing in the professional ring.

“Indeed, there are many such questions - how many more battles, when will you finish, and so on.

I have no answer for you.

In my opinion, you need to finish if the athlete is tired.

In the meantime, I have a desire and I succeed, then why not continue.

Then, after a second fight, we'll see.

Maybe it really will overwhelm me and I will say that I don’t want any more, ”RIA Novosti quotes Povetkin.

The first fight between Povetkin and White, which took place in August, ended with the victory of the Russian by knockout in the fifth round.

Povetkin then won the interim WBC heavyweight title.

The second battle was scheduled for November 21, but was postponed to the end of January 2021 due to the coronavirus infection detected in the Russian. 

During his career, 41-year-old Povetkin had 39 fights, in 36 of which he won, suffered two defeats, and another fight ended in a draw.

Earlier it was reported that Povetkin's fight with White was nominated for the best in 2020.
