Former world boxing champion, Russian athlete Alexander Povetkin admitted that he misses boxing and would very much like to resume his professional career and return to the ring.

“Russian Knight” said that he could not say right now whether he would return to battles, but if his health permits, he would like to do it. Alexander noted that he was seriously ill with coronavirus, which negatively affected his blood vessels and vision.

Povetkin said that even now, when he looks at people from the side, everything doubles in him, and during the last fight, he simply did not see anything when the opponent's blows flew. The Russian admitted that now he is not a professional boxer and whether his return will take place is unknown.

Recall that Alexander Povetkin announced the end of his boxing career after being ill with coronavirus and was defeated by knockout in a duel with British fighter Dillian White. During his long career “Vityaz” became the WBA pro world champion, and also won Olympic gold in amateurs.
