Kovalev says that his dream as a kid was just to come ot America to see the big buildings.

His town in Russia had weather of -40 degrees. So to live where he is now, it’s like it’s a vacation for him every day.

As child he worked at gas stations, sold newspapers, and had other types of jobs. He took up boxing, but he didn’t know it would be his life. Now, he’s only involved in boxing, that’s his full-time job and his total concentration.

Seems to be working out pretty well for Krusher, doesn’t it?
