Will this finally be the time the Klitschko borthers' incredible stranglehold on the heavyweight division comes to an end? Wladimir Klitschko, the current IBO, IBF, WBO and WBA Super World Heavyweight Champion risks his world titles against the hard hitting Russian Alexander Povetkin. The Wladimir Klitschko (60-3, 51 KO’s) vs. Alexander Povetkin (26-0, 18 KO’s) fight on October 5th has been officially confirmed for Moscow’s Olympic Stadium in Russia, according to Sky Sports. Wladimir,37, will be defending his IBF/IBO/WBA/WBO heavyweight titles against WBA World heavyweight champion Povetkin. This fight will see both fighters getting career high paydays. Wladimir has been making good money for many years with his various heavyweight titles, but nothing like the money he’ll be getting this fight. Wladimir will be getting $17,499,997, while Povetkin will receive $5,833,333. That’s good money for Povetkin, because he’s never really fought anyone that you could call a real quality heavyweight. Povetkin’s best wins of his career have come against Eddie Chambers, Ruslan Chagaev, Chris Byrd, and Marco Huck. The size difference between the two fighters was readily apparent when they stood eye to eye during a face off at a recent press conference. read more:http://www.news-earn.com/2013103549-Wladimir+Klitschko+vs++Alexander+Povetkin+live+Boxing+HBO+Online+HDQ++2013.html
