Russia (bbabo.net), - Former WBA, WBO and IBF light heavyweight champion Russian Sergey Kovalev will fight against China's Meng Fanlong, ESPN reports. The fight is scheduled for March 12 in Los Angeles.

Kovalev was supposed to fight on January 30 last year with Bektemir Melikuziev (Uzbekistan), but the organizers canceled the event due to a positive doping test of the Russian. In his last fight in 2019, Sergey lost ahead of schedule to Saul Alvarez and lost his WBO light heavyweight belt.

The track record of the Chinese has 17 wins (ten by knockout) and not a single defeat.
