Rudenko faced former heavyweight champion Alexander Povetkin on 1 July 2017, losing by unanimous decision. Soon after the fight began, Rudenko had problems. The fight almost came to an end in the first round after Povetkin accidentally hit Rudenko in the back of his neck with an overhand punch in the middle of a clinch. Rudenko spent five minutes complaining that he had injured his neck while Povetkin waited patiently in the corner to resume, but fans in attendance began to whistle in displeasure at Rudenko, whom they saw as feigning injury. The ringside doctor determined that Rudenko had a spasm and that Rudenko wanted to pull out of the fight. However, the referee eventually persuaded Rudenko to continue. During the interval between rounds eight and nine, Rudenko again wanted to stop the fight, but his corner firmly insisted on continuing. The judges scored the fight 120–109, 120–108, and 120–108 all in favour of Povetkin.[3]
