Alexander Povetkin will face Javier Mora in a 10 round bout scheduled for March 13th in Berlin.

The Mexican fighter Mora’s last outing was in September last year when he was beaten by Johnathon Banks by way of decision while  in Povetkin’s last fight in December he obliterated Leo Nolan knocking him out in the 3rd round.

Povetkin is the official contender to champion Wladimir Klitschko and will likely face the winner of his fight with “Fast” Eddie Chambers on March 20th. The Russian fighter and former kick boxer Povetkin, now under the tutelage of trainer Teddy Atlas, already holds a decision win over the challenger Chambers.

Javier Mora, 28 has a record of 22-5-1 and has only been stopped once by Sultan Ibragimov who knocked him out in the first round at Madison Square Garden on the 10th March 2007.
