Povetkin chops down Wach
By Przemek Garczarczyk at ringside
WBC #1 rated heavyweight Alexander Povetkin (30-1, 22 KOs) scored a twelfth round TKO over Mariusz Wach (31-2, 17 KOs) on Wednesday night at the Basket Hall Arena in Kazan, Russia. In preparation for his mandatory challenge against WBC champion Deontay Wilder, Povetkin dominated the 6’7 Wach, although he had problems with Wach’s size and was cut over the left eye. Referee Jay Nady finally waved it off in round twelve on the advice of the ring doctor.
The WBC today approved another voluntary defense for Wilder in January, so Wilder-Povetkin likely comes in April or May.
