It’s fight week, as Sergey Kovalev takes on mandatory challenger Nadjib Mohammedi this Saturday on HBO. We have the latest Hey Harold video with Harold Lederman providing his thoughts on Kovalev vs. Mohammedi.
Meanwhile, while the Mohammedi fight is seen by a time killer as Kovalev fulfill’s a mandatory defense, next up could be Andre Ward. Ward recently returned from a lengthy layoff to defeat Paul Smith, and a Ward vs. Kovalev fight has long been rumored if The S.O.G. made his move to lightweight official. It would be an excellent clash of styles while pitting two of the best fighters in the world, completely different in near every way, against one another.
Elsewhere, Sergey “Krusher” Kovalev (27-0-1, 24 KOs) from Russia received a proclamation from Clark County Commissioner Mary Beth Scow at McCarran Airport Monday July 20,2015 proclaiming Monday as “Sergey Kovalev Day on the Las Vegas Strip and throughout Clark County.”
Kovalev makes his long-awaited debut in Nevada on the HBO-televised card promoted by Main Events Saturday, July 25, at Mandalay Bay. Kovalev faces No. 1-ranked contender Nadjib Mohammedi in the 12-round championship bout.
