Finally found the other racist shit kovalev said.
Kovalev, who will be defending his IBF/WBA/WBO world light heavyweight titles against Jean Pascal this Saturday in Montreal, Quebec on HBO, has a history of making disparaging, race-based remarks aimed at black fighters, referring to Grover Young as a “thoroughbred nigga” in 2011 and making other comments that could be perceived as racial insults regarding opponents Ismayl Sillah, Bernard Hopkins, and Jean Pascal. In 2013 he also made the following statement in an interview with Russia’s All Boxing website:
“I'm not a racist, I know that everywhere there are good and bad guys, but the ‘tanned’ every day I like less. I live in Florida, there are many illegal immigrants, natives, I can see how they behave.”
The Google Russian-to-English Translator is rough in some spots, but it also happened to capture other incriminating phrases that are clearly intended as race-baiting attacks such as “Dark-skinned like a lot to talk… All of them talk a lot, and then firmly ‘sleep’” in reference to Bernard Hopkins and “It was a shame that this ‘tan’ to earn easy money” when speaking about his 2011 technical draw with Young.
Kazakh former light heavyweight world titlist, Beibut Shumenov, who counts Russian among the five languages he speaks fluently, later confirmed that nothing was lost in translation.
“I was shocked when I heard about his racist comments that he said in reference about African Americans,” Shumenov told RingTV in 2014. “There was no misinterpretation or lost in Russian-to-English translation of what he said…He will have to live with the derogatory words that he said in print and video.”
But with Shumenov's stamp of confirmation or not, the body of evidence is there. The will among members of the boxing media to call a spade a spade, on the other hand, is not.
At Wednesday’s press conference, when opponent Jean Pascal, of Haitian descent, tossed a banana at Kovalev’s African American trainer, John David Jackson, the issue was shoved backed into the dialogue despite efforts by a compliant and gutless/clueless media to smooth over the ugliness over the past year.
