Alexander Povetkin vs Michael Hunter LIVE: Boxing stream commentary and points scoring

At 40 years old, Povetkin is on another world title hunt after Joshua comprehensively halted his last one in September 2018.

The Russian comfortably outpointed Hughie Fury in his only bout since that defeat in London but comes up against a man nine years his junior in Hunter, who has impressed since moving up to heavyweight and is now targeting a top five place in the IBF, WBA and WBO rankings.
