Alexander Povetkin
Alexander Vladimirovich Povetkin (Russian: Алекса́ндр Влади́мирович Пове́ткин; born 2 September 1979 in Kursk, Russian SFSR) is a Russian professional boxer. Undefeated as of September 29, 2012, Povetkin currently holds the World Boxing Association's "regular" Heavyweight Championship, a title he won on 27 August 2011 by defeating former champion Ruslan Chagaev in a bout to fill the vacancy caused when the WBA decided to promote its then-champion Wladimir Klitschko to "super champion" status. Formerly trained by Alexander Zimin and Teddy Atlas, Povetkin since 2012 is coached by former super lightweight world champion Kostya Tszyu.

Famous quotes containing the word alexander:
“Take the serious side of Disney, the Confucian side of Disney. It’s in having taken an ethos ... where you have the values of courage and tenderness asserted in a way that everybody can understand. You have got an absolute genius there. You have got a greater correlation of nature than you have had since the time of Alexander the Great.”
—Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
