WBC interim heavyweight world champion Alexander Povetkin is recovering well from Covid 19. The next step is to return to training and evaluate his performance. “Sascha” has undergone a comprehensive medical examination and we’ll soon know if his rematch with Dillian Whyte will take place at the end of January.

Good news. Hope Povetkin has no ill effects affecting his performance in any way. Povetkin is old, but always comes to fight in good shape and as long as he is in the fight he is dangerous.
I agree but don’t forget he’s a well known cheater.. He was caught 2 times, one before the Stiverne fight were my countrymate Duhaupas stepped in as a replacement a few hours before the fight, fighting Povetkin without properly training for the fight, with basket shoes, overweight and fighting a doped man ! Duhaupas was knocked out in the sixth ! My man is a true warrior with heart, Povetkin isn’t..
Blah Blah Blah Blah blah
Well blah to fact he is interim champion when Fury I thought was the champion with that belt hopefully we see Povetkin in New Year challenge this!
Good,… He had a cold… Let’s not act like he had cancer and stuff.. Honestly.. ENOUGH!
Who cares….no point for a rematch. Whyte got knocked out and both guys got stopped by Joshua….Never mind…Best to do the rematch to get a payday. The winner in line to get knocked out in a title shot.
Povetkin almost flattened Joshua in the first fight. I bet if they rematch he does just that.
Povetkin almost flattened Joshua? Please provide the round and time in-the-the round so that I can check it out? From my memory of the fight, Povetkin did knock Joshua off balance in the second and had him fighting very cautiously but nothing resembling ”almost flattened”.
Covid takes its told on breathing and muscles after it leaves the body as alot of Athletes have described who have had it. Povetkin is old so it may affect him harder. I wish him well however i see Whyte KOing him in the rematch. Whyte in 2!
This is true. I had it and my worst symptom was fatigue and shortness of breath. The only reason I knew for sure I had it though was because I lost my sense of taste and smell completely, it was crazy. But all in all when I get the flu it’s WAY worse.
