Povetkin's brother

I hear that Alexander Povetkin has a brother at cruiserweight who's a pro with a similar style to him. Anyone know who he is or seen him in action?

He was on Eurosport last night before his brother - at the very start of the Eurosport show which was very late coming on! He looked pretty decent but was fighting a knockover job. Very similar style to his brother but nowhere near as good by the look of it. Having said that it was only his second pro fight.

Missed the first fight on the Eurosport card. Will wait for a replay. I take it he was a good amateur as well?
