Comments Thread For: Alexander Povetkin To Dillian Whyte: We Have Documents To Prove I Had COVID-19

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Alexander Povetkin didn't pay much mind to Dillian Whyte's baseless claim that the Russian heavyweight faked contracting COVID-19 to delay their immediate rematch. Povetkin provided proof to Whyte's promoter, Eddie Hearn, once coronavirus caused him to take an extended break from training early in November.

I believe povetkin on this one. It probably would've been in his best interest to have the rematch sooner, as opposed to giving Whyte more time to recover.

Were we really supposed to believe that Povetkin was so frightened of the guy he just knocked out cold, that he faked having covid? It doesn't make any sense.

Yeah am definitely not with Whyte on that one. I know he wanted revenge, and he wanted it ASAP after getting KO’ed but 7 months later isn’t that bad, especially how he got sparked out, it give Whyte time to recover, and it give Povetkin time to recover from both the fight and COVID.

State sponsored bull**** and nothing more. Pov's got a doctor's note for everything. PEDs? But muh Dr. Scared of Wlad? But muh Dr. Got lucky against Whyte? Muh Dr doe.

No one is that unhealthy exclusively around big fights. I don't believe in fairy tales so I don't believe Povetkin's lying ass.

Looking forward to seeing this fight again but in all honesty what is this like a f#$king do-over for Whyte? I thought this was supposed to a title eliminator. And if so was there a rematch clause and why? So if Povetkin knocks Whyte out again and we going to keep fighting until somehow Whyte wins? I feel like if Whyte had won the first time we wouldn't be here...

Which Whyte guy will win this fight?

[hitmanjosh]

The only thing Provetkin you need to say is I don’t owe you sh_t but another knockout MF’er! That’s all the proof required you see, then get up pop your collars and walk off, see you Saturday.

It might have gone against the run of play but that was not a lucky punch mate..

That's fair, I don't believe in lucky punches to be honest. Nothing lucky about being in the right place, having the right posture, landing in the right spot, and with solid punch structure. I misspoke and went too hard on Pov.
