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

99.98% chance he'll recover and be fine.

I think once you’re hospitalised chances of you dying goes up significantly even for younger people

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.

Unless, of course, you are Povetkin's doctor.

He could be in bad state - we don't know, but in Russia the threshold for hospitalization is also typically lower than in the Western countries. Plus, if you are rich and famous, you can go down there with a sneeze if you want

Yeah there true. Hopefully he’s okay

Whyte says he take the Fury fight now ;-)

Hope he comes through this healthy......a good guy

I swear when I was positive I thought it was drugs then I read Corona hope he recovers

[diarraisagod]

Fury and Whyte both need a fight. If it wasn't for boxing politics it would make total sense

Can't see Hearn, Warren and Arum doing business quickly enough to make it happen though. Or BT and Sky for that matter

Whyte should take the date against another opponent as Pov. may not be well enough come January and after such a brutal KO from this man I think it would be a wise move to get some rounds against Allen again or the like.All the best to the old Russian warrior.
