Filed under: News , UFC There was a time when it seemed boxers and mixed martial artists didn’t have too many kind words for each other. Those times are changing. Undefeated Russian boxer Sergey Kovalev (30-0-1), who currently holds World Boxing Association, International Boxing Federation and World Boxing Organization world light heavyweight titles, meets undefeated contender Andre Ward (30-0) this Saturday at Las Vegas’ T-Mobile Arena.
