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

Tough break, was looking forward to this one.

Whyte should fight Chisora. Easy bout for him and his training won't be wasted.

Zero chance Whyte and Fury face each other. Zero. No one is risking the biggest british heavyweight fight in history so Whyte and Fury can make a couple million pounds.

Huh, did you watch their last fight?

lol. Hearn is tweeting Fury vs Whyte. Which fight makes more money? Fury needs a dance partner asap. Povetkin would love to take any step aside bidness!

1. It's a risky fight for Fury. Whyte won't come in for a dance, he'll come to fight.
2. 4 weeks prep time for someone like Fury is a joke.
3. Kabayel has probably already signed. If so did Fury, then its a done deal.

no good I hope he gets better but if he has been hospitalized that is not a good sign I hope povetkin fights through and makes a big recovery...

damn covid-19 fucking everything up...

Why would Povetkin fake a serious illness when he KO'd Whyte? If anyone needed the extra time to recover it's Whyte. You Americans are so used to hearing lies on a daily basis that you no longer accept facts or need something called "evidence" to support your ludicrous claims. Go read a book ignoramus.

1) I'm a Brit not an American. If I was an American if be full of venom.and hating on Whyte
2) it was Whyte who pushed for a fast rematch. Why? Because he knows povetkin is older and won't recover fast enough.
Even though Whyte was the one who was ko'd, he didn't take a beating nor is he 40+.
Hence povetkin needed more time to properly rest his body, which Whyte wasn't allowing him to do by forcing the rematch as fast as possible.

By povetkin blagging about having Covid, the fight gets pushed to January. 4-5 weeks extra for him.

In this situation I totally understand why povetkins done this and also think Whyte should not have forced the rematch so soon. He should have played fair and allowed both himself and povetkin to recover and fight late December at the latest...not November.

Fury isn't going to fight Whyte...that's clear.
Not unless he has to.

Whyte Vs wilder makes sense though. Both coming off big losses too.
