It did not happen, and here – Povetkin won with a crushing score (120-108, 120-108 and 120-109), but only on points. Nevertheless, his career has grown again, and now he has a title fight.

It seems that Krivoshapkina should have been helped, and perhaps these and the others. But in the end, the victory went to the Ukrainian woman with a very strange split decision: 58-56, 56-58, 56-60.
