Alex Povetkin defeats Hughie Fury to remain a top contender

Alexander Povetkin W12 Hughie Fury ... In the chief support bout at London's 02 Arena, heavyweight Alexander Povetkin remained a top contender on the world stage, defeating a much younger Hughie Fury by unanimous twelve-round decision. All three official scores were 117-111. Povetkin's best rounds were probably rounds eight and nine. He's now 35-2 with the losses coming in championship fights against Anthony Joshua and Wladimir Klitschko. Fury falls to 23-3 with losses to Povetkin, Kubrat Pulev and ex-WBO titlist Joseph Parker. Povetkin turns 40 next week, while Fury is just 24 years old. source: espn+
