Whyte to pass November fight, to wait for Povetkin

Most likely, due to the illness of Alexander Povetkin (36-2-1, 25 KOs), who was diagnosed with coronavirus, Dillian Whyte (27-2, 18 KOs) will not perform at the boxing evening scheduled for November 21.

As promoter Eddie Hearn suggests, finding a new opponent for Body Snatcher is unlikely to lead to a worthy fighter. Therefore, the Briton will wait for Povetkin until January, to which the fight was initially postponed.

The November evening will take place, despite the absence of the main battle Whyte - Povetkin, but will not be broadcast in the UK on the PPV.
