For the third time in three fights, there will be a new voice in the corner of heavyweight titlist Alexander Povetkin. Kostya Tszyu, the Hall of Fame former undisputed junior welterweight champion, is training Povetkin for the third defense of his second-tier title against mandatory challenger and former world champion Hasim Rahman on Sept. 29 (Epix and EpixHD.com) in Hamburg, Germany. Povetkin spent a few years with Teddy Atlas -- also ESPN2's "Friday Night Fights" ringside analyst -- as his head trainer, and together they won a vacant belt via unanimous decision against former titleholder Ruslan Chagaev last August.
