Povetkin is 41 years old and has a professional record of 36 wins, 25 wins by knockout. He won the WBA world heavyweight title in August 2011 from Ubekiztan's Ruslan Chagaev and made 4 defenses of that championship. He shocked the boxing world by knocking out Dillian Whyte in August 2020 for the WBC world heavyweight title.
¨Povetkin has given his best for our country and for the boxing world. The decision to retire from the sport must be made by Povetkin himself,¨ said Shchekutyev
