The war of words continue in the saga between WBO/IBF/WBA champion Sergey Kovalev and young gun Artur Beterbiev (7-0, 7KOs). Beterbiev faces former champion Gabriel Campillo (25-6-1, 11KOs) on April 4 in Quebec City, airing live on CBS and TVA Sports. Campillo had previously faced, and got knocked out, by division ruler Sergey Kovalev, who has the WBO/WBA/IBF titles.
Beterbiev threw down some fighting words, when he declared that he would beat Kovalev - again. Beterbiev says he beat Kovalev twice in the amateurs and plans to make it a trilogy of wins when they meet in the pros.
"I will put on a good show and fight April 4th," Beterbiev continued. "When I step in the ring, I don't have a friend. I want to continue to get better until I face Sergey Kovalev again. And I will beat him again!"
Kovalev has responded to his countryman.
"It's interesting that he says he beat me at something. What is it a dream of something? We met twice [in the amateurs], where in the first two rounds Beterbiev's head was touching his ass, and then in the third and fourth rounds - when I was tired - he could not do anything with me. All of his punches struck air, as if he was doing shadow boxing. The entire Russian team will confirm what happened in Kislovodsk," Kovalev said.
"And the second time [we met] was in the Russian championships and the judges gave him the victory as I had no support behind me and I was fighting on my own against an entire corrupt commission in Magnitogorsk. So there is no need to mislead people, Artur. First earn a fight with me, and then I will punish you. And no more wishful thinking. As of today, you even refused to fight Chilemba and that shows that you're scared."
Beterbiev's manager, Anna Reva, has reacted to Kovalev.
"I would like to say that boxing is not a street fight. Being a boxer is not just about waving your fists. In boxing there must be ethics and respect," Reva stated.
"Sergey, well, he is very ugly [in the way he acts] and not professional. You should be a champion who makes a good example for the younger generation, so you shouldn't come out like that and be so cheap. Real men don't talk, they decide everything regarding their hurt feelings in the ring. Did you forget for how many years you have been running? And Artur, in a year, is already on a high pro level - so hold your envy in silence."

Brehs, I actually think Beterbiev would beat Kovalev. It's just something in his eyes that makes him look like a real threat
I really wanna see them 2 fight each other, with GGG and Matt Korobov getting it in at 160
Here's some sparring footage of Beterbiev vs Jean Pascal just for a common comparision (and yes, we know it's sparring, but you can watch Beterbiev vs Cloud and see this boy seems like the truth):
The Eurodemons are taking over boxing with their demonic boxing spirit and it all started with Vitali and Wladamir leading the way
The Eurodemons are here brehs....and it aint nothing we can do about it
