Four boxing organizations chairmen – Daryl Peoples (IBF), Gilberto Mendoza (WBA), Francisco “Paco” Valcarcel (WBO) and Ed Levine (IBO) will be among distinguished guests of event organizer Andrey Ryabinsky, CEO of investment and construction company “MIC” , vice-president of Russian Professional Boxing Federation when WBA, IBF, WBO and IBO champ Wladimir Klitschko (60-3, 51 KO) defends against WBA regular beltholder Alexander Povetkin (26-0, 18 KO) mega-fight on October 5 in Moscow.
Ryabinsky also added another big name to his already impressive list of heavyweight Olympic champions in Moscow’s Olympic Stadium (Klitschko and Povetkin in the ring, Lennox Lewis as a guest).
Legendary George Foreman (76-5, 68 KO), who just started “Foreman Boys Promotions,” the oldest professional heavyweight world champion and of course Olympic gold medalist from Mexico in 1968, will be in Russia cheering for both fighters in just a couple of weeks. Klitschko-Povetkin will be televised live in US by HBO.
