Alexander Povetkin had to postpone his rematch with Dillian Whyte twice after contracting the coronavirus.
Povetkin stunned the boxing world by rising from two knockdowns to stop Whyte with a single uppercut on Aug. 22. Their second fight was originally scheduled for Nov. 21 and then Jan. 30 but was pushed back each time as the Russian tended to his health. They will now meet on March 6 in the U.K.

In this episode of Boxing with Chris Mannix, courtesy of DAZN, the host interviews the outspoken heavyweight contender about the delays, Povetkin’s health and more.
Here’s what he had to say.
