Their ages are radically different.

But the goals of former Butler Cubs amateur boxers — turned pro — Ryan Covert and Donovan Malovich are very much the same.

Win championships.

Malovich, 20, wants to begin that process. Covert, 41, wants his title now.

Both look to attain what they want during their respective bouts on the second annual Fall Fisticuffs boxing card at 6:30 p.m. Saturday at Printscape Arena in Canonsburg.

Covert (2-2, 2 KOs) is taking on Michael Manna (3-2, 3 KOs) in a four-round fight for the newly created Steel City heavyweight belt.

“I know Michael (age 36)pretty well. He's a tough fighter and we've both won by knockout,” Covert said. “I wasn't planning on fighting anymore, but when I got the word that this would be for a title belt, I couldn't turn it down.

“I don't care about the money. I care about this title. It's all about the Steel City and we've got that sort of history in Butler. I want to bring that belt back here.”

Covert's pay for the evening will be based on the ticket sales he produces. He plans to donate any money he earns to Dan Smith, a friend who is battling leukemia.

Malovich (0-0-1) has not fought since making his pro debut at Family Sports Center in 2017. He fought to a four-round draw that night.

He is taking on Kelvin Smith (2-2, 1 KO) of Pittsburgh in a four-round lightweight bout.

“I've spent the past year or so trying to decide what I want to do with my life,” Malovich said. “I feel like I have a gift that can take me a long way in boxing. I want to use that gift, make it work for me.

“I plan to fight like a pro this time. In my debut, I just went in there flailing. This sport is a lot different without the headgear.

“I'm going to read my opponent this time, get a feel for the fight before I attack,” Malovich added.

Malovich said his ultimate goal is to become WBC world welterweight champion.

“(Brian Minto) fought for a world title and I feel like I'm next in line,” he said. “A lot of people my age get hooked on drugs in this town. I want to prove that young people from Butler can go somewhere.”

Along with owning local restaurants, Covert has embarked upon an acting career. He plays a role in Manhunt: Lone Wolf, a TV series entering its second season.

Covert also helps to train 10 to 15 amateur boxers, ages 13 to 25, at the Cubs Hall.

“I want to lead by example,” he said. “I'm stepping in the ring, fighting and taking punches, just like the fighters I'm working with.

“Yeah, my life's pretty busy right now, so take a fight? Why not? I keep saying this will be my last one, but if I win this belt, I know I'm going to want to defend it.”

Butler Cubs boxing manager Don Spinetti and trainer Billy Wolfe will be in the corner of Covert and Malovich Saturday night.

“I like their chances in these fights,” Spinetti said. “Ryan has fought enough pro fights now that he's made the adjustment and he's in great shape.

“Donovan's been with us since he was 12 years old. He had a very good amateur record and he'll fight differently this time. Headgear does cushion a lot of punches. Pros don't have that cushion.”

Covert said “I'm in the best condition of my life.”

Malovich believes his boxing life is just beginning.

“Now is the time for me to do this,” he said. “Mike Tyson's career was rolling when he was 18.”

Covert has bought equipment for the Cubs boxing gym along with working with fighters in recent years.

“This place turned my life around,” Covert said. “I used to get in fights with thugs on the street. I'd fight a guy who hit his girlfriend, or someone who was bullying, bad people in that sense.

“The police knew that. They brought me here. I dropped 80 pounds, started boxing and totally changed my lifestyle. Now I own multiple businesses. That doesn't happen without this place.

“I believe in giving back. I believe in giving in general,” Covert added.
