Kovy has continuously ran his mouth in the media about me and the fight is approaching. Kovy has constantly trolled me on social media on how he plans to end my career. His actions by posting a monkey to represent Adonis Stevenson, the current WBC champion, is not only derogatory but has no place in our society in 2015.

By the way Kovy, Aducknis Chickenson is not a monkey but a chicken. He is our national chicken in Canada.

On November 30 in Montreal at the official press conference for the fight, Kovy said he will knock me out before the 8th round. Because of his comment, when I had the roundtable with the media in Los Angeles two weeks ago, I challenged him to bet 50K to donate to a charity of his choice if he knocked me out before the 8th round. And if he doesn’t knock me out before the 8th round he would donate 50K to benefit underprivileged youth through a charity of my choosing.

I know I will win the match. After my comments in the media, Kovy accepted the bet which surprised me. Because I know his character, as not only a racist and a liar,  but someone who is very cheap with his funds.

Later on, Kovy backed out of the bet and said he is not a gambler - but this isn't about gambling. This is about believing in yourself. I am a winner in my spirit, and I carry myself as such. I am confident enough to believe I will not get knocked out.

I'm not in this fight to last eight rounds or win a bet. Either way it goes it'll benefit a great cause, win or lose. Kovy needs to put his money where his big mouth is. But it seems as though the liar character continues to show. I am in this to bring the belts back to its rightful place.

My belief was that this would bring a great spin to this anticipated rematch and benefit under privilege youth. Clearly he isn't willing to honor his word, Kovy you liar, focus on training. We will have fireworks on January 30 live on HBO in Montreal, Canada.

Sergey don't forget, Bluffing isn't good, a pair of balls beats everything. To put it simply - put up or shut up
