  • It’s no wonder Sergey Kovalev’s nickname is “Krusher”. Of his 30 victories, 26 have ended in knockouts. The Russian’s journey to success hasn’t been all highs, however.

    Early in his career, he had to endure the death of one his opponents caused by their fight just three days prior. Sergey says it almost ended his career, but has since managed to return to fighting.

    The Russian boxer sits down with VICE Sports days before his narrow defeat to Andre Ward in the Light Heavyweight title match.

    Did Kovalev deserve to lose against Ward?
