WLADIMIR Klitschko will defend his multiple heavyweight titles against mandatory challenger Alexander Povetkin in a highly anticipated showdown on October 5 in Moscow.
"This is the best fight that the heavyweight division has to offer at the moment," Klitschko said in a statement yesterday. Klitschko holds the IBF and IBO belts and is also the WBO and WBA "super champion." Povetkin, 33, is WBA's "regular champion." Klitschko's older brother Vitali is the WBC champion. The Ukraine-born brothers have dominated the heavy division for a decade. Russia's Povetkin is like Wladimir Klitschko a former Olympic champion and has a 26-0 record, with 18 KOs. Klitschko is 60-3. His last fight was a sixth-round TKO over Francesco Pianeta in May.
