Ukrainian boxer Andrei Rudenko, who lost to Alexander Povetkin, wants a rematch with a Russian.

This was told by the representative of the sportsman Vladislav Eliseev.

In addition, he added that the neck spasm, which the Ukrainian received in the first round, did not affect the outcome of the match.

"We would love to like a rematch, but it all depends on the team Povetkin. If they want, then we will be ready, then we will be more thoroughly prepared.

With health at Rudenko all is good, but zaperzhivali in the first round. After all, we realized that in the event of a stoppage of the battle, no one would win. We are pleased that the fight lasted all 12 rounds after such embarrassment.

Our team did not want to stop the fight.

Andrei had a spasm, he said so during the battle. I do not want to look for any excuses, because Alexander was stronger, this spasm was not a key factor. Not everything worked out, because we were actively preparing for Povetkin. We are upset with the result, "Yeliseyev said..

Recall that yesterday, July 1, in Moscow, Rudenko lost Povetkin in the battle for the Intercontinental Champion title by the WBA and WBO heavyweight champion.
