By Per-Ake Persson

EC Boxing's Swedish heavyweight prospect Adrian Granat (12-0) is in Moscow sparring with WBC Challenger Alexander Povetkin. Povetkin is in full training for his upcoming showdown against Deontay Wilder.

It's no wonder Granat have gotten this job, says EC promoter Erol Ceylan, he is tall, very fast and can punch as hard as Povetkin.

Next time Granat steps into the ring is June 4 in Kassel (Germany) when he takes on Bolivian Saul Farah (59-20-3).

Granat have previously served as sparring partner for Wladimir Klitschko, Kubrat Pulev and Dillian Whyte.
