Former WBC cruiserweight title holder Grigori Drozd believes that a boxing career Sergei Kovalev is nearing completion.
Kovalev lost to Swede Robin Safar by unanimous decision on Saturday in Saudi Arabia. For the 41-year-old Russian, this fight was the first after a two-year break.
— I was very upset by the result. I hoped that Sergei would find a source of energy and inspiration for a new title campaign. With such boxing and in these conditions, one should not enter the ring against young opponents. Seryoga is 41 years old. Unfortunately, the end of my career has come. I myself once made a similar decision. Life is just beginning, it exists outside the ring. You need to change and do something else. It was a good fight, but Sergey is probably unhappy with his condition. “He did not achieve the goals he set for himself in this fight,” Drozd told Metaratings.ru.
Kovalev has 35 victories and five defeats in the professional ring. Previously, the Russian held the WBA, IBF and WBO light heavyweight championship belts.
