Kovalev was undefeated until 2016, where he lost twice to Andre Ward. There he went on a two-win fight streak and then lost to Eleider Alvarez in 2018. The following year Kovalev retained the WBO title after successfully avenging his loss to Eleider Alvarez and then ended Anthony Yarde’s undefeated run by KO in the 11th round in August.
