However, ‘Krusher’ has mentioned a condition that he wanted a comeback fight for the title before locking horns with ‘The Problem Child’.

When did Sergey Kovalev fight last?

The 39-year-old stalwart took to the ring against undisputed super-middleweight champ Canelo Alvarez on 2 November 2019 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena. Unfortunately, it ended on a sad note for the former champion.

Though Kovalev had a herculean job on hand, the pound-for-pound king seized him on the ropes with a brutal left hook and a straight right cross. However, before getting knocked out, the champion was jabbing and scoring well on the scorecard. The fight could have gone either way, but Canelo’s intentions were clear.

Since then, ‘Krusher’ made a few deals for a fight but could not land any. As of now, the former champion has claimed that he is in good shape. As a result, he wants a comeback fight and considered Jake paul on the list of his probable opponents.
