Comments Thread For: Povetkin Still Recovering From COVID, Will Not Face Whyte in January

[Bronx23]

I had it and it ****** I wasn’t myself for about a good month. There’s definitely some lingering side effects that you feel. For me it was a lack of appetite, fatigue and chest pains. I’m back to normal now but yea not something u wanna experience twice

Who does Whyte think he is ,a doctor now? On another note ,its very dangerous for people who take anabolic steroids to catch any of these respiratory viruses,it makes it very hard to fight the thing off.

Whyte does come out with them, he was knocked unconscious said he heard the count at 7 (to which there was none) rushed back into wanting a immediate dodgy Eddie rematch against the advice of many wise heads and then says Povetkin didn't have Covid but needed more time because of the punishment he took .....ffs please Dillian make some sense.

I know Whyte's a big mouth but even he has to realize the longer Povetkin is out the more time he's got to recover from getting knocked out

Jesus does Dillian ever stop and listen to what comes out of his mouth? Lmfao


Yeah Povetkin is faking COVID because he’s afraid of fighting you again. Guess he doesn’t want to cut his knuckles off your glass jaw.

Whyte vs. Wilder for the STFU belt...

COVID hits people differently. If it hit Povetkin hard he might need extra time to recover.

They might purposely loose to keep talking crap.

Covid is a serious thing to catch in general add in povetkin renown repeated use of steroids and we all the neg effects it can have on some ppl who knows how catching covid affected povetkin so let em be. If fury and aj fight then let wilder and whyte fight with povetkin coming back against usyk or joyce. If fury fight wilder and aj usyk then povetkin got parker oritz joyce or ruiz and whyte ortiz or ruiz joyce parker Everyone get paid fights worth watching and literally fights worthy of moving up the ranks trying to bring boxing back

I had generally minor symptoms but still had a dry cough for like 2 weeks.

If you got the vid in the middle of an elite training camp, that would really throw the whole thing out of wack. It would take weeks to get back to "normal" and you still slipped. I would say even with a minor case you could still have to redo a month of training camp.
