Cloutier’s Canada Corner
Shoving Match
Between Kovalev And Pascal - Video
By Daniel Cloutier
MONTRÉAL – A few minutes after the final press conference
held at the Bell Centre, a small shoving match happened
between the two stars of the Saturday night HBO boxing show,
the Montrealer Jean Pascal and the Russian Sergey Kovalev.
When the photographers asked to the two fighters to be nose
to nose for pictures, Pascal made a move with his left hand
to take out the Kovalev’s sports cap.
When he saw his cap on the floor, Kovalev, furious, pushed
Pascal.
The argument stopped right away, because the trainers asked
to each fighter to back off.
At weight in Friday afternoon, the photographers will
certainly ask again to the two fighters to be nose to nose
for pictures.
