According to the source, the Ukrainian boxer is very carefully preparing for the fight, practicing with his coach Manny Robles to move around the ring and protect the second floor (hull).
Shabran for a long time was waiting for this fight, because to fight with such an eminent boxer as Kovalev is the best sporting experience that a boxer can get.
The service of the Russian psyche is pretty impressive: 30 held fights in the ring, in 26 of which he sent the opponent in a knockout.
Kovalev recently owned the world boxing championships - WBA, IBF and WBO. But he could not defend them against Andre Ward.
Shabransky fought the last time in August with American Todd Untank Meim.
As reported in "URA-Inform", recently Ukrainian Alexander Khizhnyak won a gold medal in the world championship in boxing among men, held in Hamburg.
