The COVID-19 pandemic continues to wreak havoc around the world, and its impact on the sports schedule is obviously still strong.
A heavyweight rematch between Alexander Povetkin and Dillian Whyte, initially set for November 21st in London, won’t happen until at least January 2021 after Povetkin tested positive for COVID-19. Matchroom Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn confirmed that Povetkin was admitted to hospital for the virus.
Unfortunately we got the news today that Alexander Povetkin is in hospital after testing positive for Covid-19. The fight will now be rescheduled to a target date of Jan 30.
