Russia’s ‘Krusher’ Kovalev regains WBO light heavyweight title after beating Colombia’s Alvarez
Russian boxing star Sergey Kovalev won back his WBO light heavyweight championship title by outpunching Colombian Eleider Alvarez in a rematch held in Frisco, Texas.
Kovalev defeated Alvarez on Sunday by a unanimous decision (116-112, 116-112, 120-108).
The boxer thanked his trainer Buddy McGirt for preparing him for the fight. “This training camp, I took carefully with help from my team,” Kovalev told ESPN after his win. “They really helped me. They stopped me from overtraining.”
Kovalev, 35, lost his WBO and IBA light heavyweight titles in August when Alvarez defeated him by technical knockout.
Nicknamed the ‘Krusher’, the Russian boxer has held multiple WBA, IBF, and WBO titles over the years. He now has 33 wins, including 28 by knockout, three losses, and one draw.
