“It’s all, frankly, a little pissing me off,” said the 43-year-old Russian in an interview with the channel “Ushatayka”. “They are brothers, they should always be together and friendly. You don’t have to pit them against each other. I hope that they will still be together, and Sasha will draw the right conclusions, take the right path. He’s a good guy, but drinking ruins him, he doesn’t need it.”
Also, “Russian Knight” answered the question of whether he was going to return to the professional ring.
“Now I will slowly gain shape. Whether I will perform or not, I don’t know yet. Anything can happen. Now I am undergoing treatment, and I will look at how I feel. I think everything will be clear within two months.”
The last time Alexander Povetkin entered the ring was in March 2021, losing ahead of schedule in a rematch to Briton Dillian Whyte and losing the interim WBC world heavyweight title.
