2021 Russian World Champion Marc Petrovsky told he wanted to knock out an American Kevin Johnson .
Petrovsky will face Johnson on August 18 in Moscow. Due to the 43-year-old Johnson, 36 wins, 21 losses (three ahead of schedule) and one draw. The American has boxed with almost every major heavyweight – Tyson Fury, Vitali Klitschko, Anthony Joshua, Andy Ruiz, Derek Chisora, Manuel Charr, Kubrat Pulev, Daniel Dubois, Filip Hrgovic, Mariusz Vakh, Martin Bakola and many more . Petrovsky, 24, has five wins (4 by KO).
“I have a big fight ahead of me. Possibly the loudest of my professional career. I think there will be more to come. But we have to finish this fight successfully and quickly. Kevin Johnson is called the king of the forest, called himself a fox. And here in Siberia, they like to wear fox skins, so we will try to take them off. He has few defeats at the beginning, and I want to add to him another loss at the start. Yes, I want to end the fight with a quick victory.
– The stake of this fight will be the belt of the heavyweight champion of Russia. What do you think of Johnson’s desire to obtain Russian citizenship?
– If he has such a desire, then why not? If it will promote the popularization of sport in our country, help the youth. If he wants, and everything is legal… Let him, we have a good country, we have nice people, Petrovsky told .
