Kovalev is facing Pascal again in Jan

[Tam Seddon]

I see the Beterbiev fight happening soon in an all Russian showdown, after Kovalev deals with Pascal again.

The Beterbiev fight will be after Ward. They need time to build Beterbiev up into a bigger name so it's a bigger fight. He'll probably be on the Kovalev-Ward undercard if the promoters can work a deal out.

In order for Roach to have any effect, Pascal with have to abandon those things that have worked to his advantage in the past but even if Roach gets him to tighten up and little and use the ring more wisely it could have a positive effect.

BTW the Ring has stripped Stevenson of their title and Kovalev was actually a mandatory for Steveson but backed out of a purse bid earlier in the year.
