Sergey Kovalev: From russia with Gloves Seeks for Usyk-Fury Undercard

Insider Mike Coppinger spills the beans: russian fighter Sergey Kovalev is gearing up to throw down on the undercard of the Oleksandr Usyk vs. Tyson Fury fight.

Tapped for a possible face-off is Swedish slugger Robin Safar (16-0, 12 KOs). They'll meet in the heavyweight division (up to 90.7 kg). For the 40-year-old Russian, it's his first step back into the ring since May 2022.

The big Fury-Usyk scrap is set for February 17 in Saudi Arabia. Word on the street is three more ring warriors are potentially joining this undercard lineup.
