In Helsinki today the fight all weighed-in ahead of tomorrow nights Sauerland Event show where they have some great action lined up for the WBA Heavyweight crown and European Heavyweight title.
WBA Heavyweight Title – Alexander Povetkin (holder) 16st 3lb 3 1/2oz – Cedric Boswell 16st 4lb 5 1/2oz
Vacant European Heavyweight Title – Robert Helenius 17st 14oz – Dereck Chisora 17st 4lb 7oz
After plenty of verbal, pushing and posturing promoter Wilfried Sauerland does not expect Chisora to be around for the post-fight press conference. “Chisora has a big mouth. Talk is cheap. I am not sure whether he will show up for the post-fight press conference. Robert has knocked out three former world champions and two of them were unable to face the press afterwards. We will find out about Chisora. I know for sure that Robert is going to win on Saturday night.”
Daily Sport says – We expect a comfortable point win by Povetkin and Chisora to get stopped inside 6 rounds.
