Kovalev on his thoughts on the rematch:
“I will finish [Ward’s] boxing career because like, right now, I’m already in a corner and I don’t have like another way except like get a victory over him...it’s a necessary victory.
On what goes through his mind when Virgil Hunter talks badly about him during the press conferences:
“Well...they can say everything, you know, because they are at home and they are speaking to public [in] their native language and for people with American [mentality]. But I will see how [they will talk] if they will be in my country, but they will never go to my country because Andre Ward is a hometown champion. He never fought out of the USA. Never - in the pros.
“Yeah, would champions should be fighting everywhere. Okay, I fought in your country, Las Vegas, ok, why you [don’t] want to fight in New York? No, they [don’t] want to fight in New York. They want to fight in Las Vegas again because like they have a big support, big support, there.”
