Even if it takes say 10 days of self-isolation to be clear of COVID-19 the fighter, promoters and trainers will still need time to prepare for the fight. I also thought postponing the fight to October was somewhat unnecessary.
Waiting until October seems like an excessively long time but they are doing it to avoid other big sports events. The Pacquiao vs. Spence fight is next month and in September there is a Canelo fight. I hope this is the final postponement and it won't turn out like Lopez vs. Kambosos where it seems like every week they are changing the date and moving it further into the future.
Pushing it until October might do good in the long run, more people getting vaccinated and possible to watch the fight live, and I do think that the hype is still there, whether in US or in England. Although it might be a burden for the boxer themselves as they will have to wait before they kick each other asses.
And this involves big money, so it's better that everyone not to rush things right now.
