"That was a very hard fight," said IBF mandatory title challenger Alaexander Povetkin after his impressive win over previously unbeaten Eddie Chambers on Saturday night in Berlin. "Chambers didn't fight like I expected, but I adjusted well to him." Povetkin also disclosed that his prefight preparation didn't run smoothly. "I caught the flu and had to take antibiotics," he revealed, "next time I will be in better shape." The 2004 Olympic super heavyweight gold medalist is now in line to face the winner of the big February 23rd IBF-WBO unification clash between world champions Wladimir Klitschko and Sultan Ibragimov. "I havn't wasted any thought yet on who the opponent will be," commented Povetkin. "Klitschko or Ibragimov - against either it would be an honor. In any case, the preparation will be the toughest of all time."
Notes: Nearly five million tuned in to see the bout on ARD in Germany. The bout was also seen in the USA with HBO offering same day coverage. It was the first non-Klitschko bout in Germany that HBO has covered.
