Comments Thread For: Povetkin Hospitalized After Positive COVID Test, Whyte Rematch Postponed

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

What was one of the best fights on the remaining 2020 boxing schedule will instead become one of most anticipated matchups heading into the New Year. The November 21 heavyweight rematch between Alexander Povetkin and Dillian Whyte has been postponed, due to Povetkin testing positive for COVID-19. The bout was due to air live on Sky Sports Box Office in the United Kingdom and on DAZN-USA in the U.S. live from SSE Arena at Wembley, but will instead carry a working date of January 30, 2021.

I hope he get's well soon. Who know's how healthy he'll be afterwards depending on how it hits him.

I was fearing this for any meaningful matchup.

Since Whyte has always been talking a lot maybe Wilder and him can get it together.

Probably pick Whyte to win the rematch now

Best wishes to Povetkin

99.98% chance he'll recover and be fine.

Fake illness.

Matchroom and Povetkin have agreed to postpone the date. If he’s in the “hospital” would mean a bad state.. so pushing the fight to January just a month later doesn’t seem realistic from a camp perspective or assumption that he’ll be just fine weeks later.

Damm, hope he's ok he's good fun.

Hopefully the Dubois vs Joyce, Joshua vs Pulev and Fury fights get off ok.

When's the next meaningful US heavyweight fight get going? Must be something coming up surely?

[Oldskoolg]

Best wishes champ!
