Tyson Fury meets Otto Wallin, an unbeaten Swedish southpaw, in two weeks. He plans to rematch Deontay Wilder in a WBC-title fight next year.
Russia's Povetkin has only lost twice in 37 fights, against Wladimir Klitschko and Anthony Joshua. He had not returned to the ring since losing to Joshua until he met Hughie on Saturday night.
