I think Whyte  will be more careful here, he might just box Povetkin and get the score, just like AJ did against Ortiz and this will be a boring fight if that's the scenario we are going to witness. As a fan, I love to see a good fight and i really hope this fight would end with a KO, if Whyte would win, I'll love to see that but if Povetkin, I'll accept that.
This will be an exciting match actually, this will be a mind games match because Povetkin might have the cards up his sleeve on what he will do about this very scenario that you are talking about. A long drag fight will be the biggest disadvantage for Whyte here because he is the challenger plus he needs to land more clean hits and some knockdowns against Povetkin. My taste is more on long dragged fights because I want to savor each round and most live audience would want to because they want to get what they pay for, a bloodsport.

4 days ago Povetkin gave an interview on his Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/p/CJGfKR0qHBE/
In which he said that he was in good shape, training outdoors and preparing for the New Year. For now he trains only in the mornings but in a few days he plans to train several times a day. He also said he will try to repeat the uppercut in his fight with Whyte.

Thanks for this one, but I still think that Povetkin recovery is very slow though, maybe he was in good shape but still with the covid-19 still around, there is a chance that he might be infected again and probably he is still under observation and just training indoors and see how he felt. It's holidays anyway so the training is just light. So let's see what his body reaction if he do training like he did before and hopefully he will respond positively.
Povetkin will still be formidable, Whyte lost his title for a reason, A K.O. at 5th round is not something to be disregarded. Maybe if you factor in the determination of Whyte to get the title back, maybe he could do something about not being knocked out. If Povetkin as the Instagram interview says that he will repeat that upper cut then Whyte better have a counter for that one because simply dodging will not be enough as this is heavyweight.

Maybe, but as a fan we love to see a toe to toe fight and Whyte needs to avenge his loss in the first fight.. who knows if Fans will be satisfied and Whyte wins this fight, a Trilogy might happen. This guy (https://boxrec.com/en/proboxer/569964) has a good KO percentage, he can win a KO in this one, but he needs to be careful not to make the same mistake.

Whyte is looking for a big rebound here and he is not going to get it from an unknown fighter, he should be desperate to have a fight to someone who is as popular as he is he can only come out with two names right now, Ruiz or Wilder, any other name will do him no good he needs to get on the top again after that devastating knock out..

A quite so true, and hence Whyte were desperate to push this game with Povetkin aside from the fact that he has a history of being defeated by Povetkin he will definitely make a revenge to up bring his name again in the world of boxing.

What's important to us is what they've shown in the ring but there some statement that would really ring on us and I would say it's really getting the attention of the people for whatever the purpose is, well, the main purpose is just to sell the right, so probably that's it.

And yes it is the important thing that every bettors are looking for. And i guess their fight were much awaited. But it seems that this new strain virus were a threat too to the upcoming fight. Lets wait till the set date if it were going to happen.

if he is committed to what he does, he trains more as usual champions do. He says in good shape but the question is, how true is that? We can't say either until he won in his next fight.
Boxing is not about luck but this is how a boxer adjusts to his opponent and applies what he learns from his training. More training more chances to win. If Povetkin trains more, he has an advantage but not sure if is eager to win and do the physical training rather keeping himself easy.
I think we have to be more concern on whyte here as he lose in the first fight.

Dillian Whyte to Win-240
Alexander Povetkin to Win+200

Bookies think that Alexander Povetkin just won because of a lucky counter punch, so he is still underdog despite of the win in the first fight. Well, I guess sportsbook has not offered the odds yet as I check in my crypto bookie and it seems not available, but that odds would really give us some idea.

Slowly training again. Not a joke being hospitalized 2 times. Definitely, your body will not be the same and it needs time to fully go back to its shape. If we are lucky, they may return to the ring where audience is already allowed. That is, if the covid vaccine will be rolled-out fast. The ambience is different if there's audience.

Even if he recovered, I don't think his body is ready as he was hospitalized 2 times.
This is the reason why they postponed it because they said they underestimated the effect of the virus on his body.
They thought he will be ready but he's not. That's understandable in my opinion.
Why risk your health if you know that you can't perform well inside the ring?

There's a mew strain of CoVid now I hope it's not the one that infected him we all want to see the rematch but we'll have to wait for things to settle down, like Povetkin recovery and the virus, I want to see them fight with real audiences because it promises to be a great fight with one man a possibility to knock the other, both fighters have knock out power in their hands.

Yeah, a lot of people want to get in the ring with Whyte. I read that he also wants to fight other fighters while the fight with Povetkin is postponed.

Yup, because Whyte is still a good name to be honest, for me he is just a B-level fighter. But if you can other boxers will fight Whyte and if they survived or won against him, still good in their resume.

I've seen several times that it's possible the fight will be moved to March. Does anybody know why they want to move it again? Povetkin has already recovered and is feeling very well.

Last time I heard, it really affected Povetkin, again he is abled body, but with his age probably the effect is very different that's why his recovery takes time and will not fight unless he is 100% fine.

Ruiz or or Luis Ortiz will be a good option for Whyte.

Both of them are still legit and solid contenders in the heavyweight division. We all know that Ruiz upset AJ and Ortiz giving Wilder everything he can during their fights. So if Whyte can either beat one of them, it will be good in his resume. He should stop chasing Fury or AJ for now, but improved and build slowly his resume before he can go with either of the top fighters in the HW division.

A new name wants to fight Whyte:

Hunter: I Want Dillian Whyte Next But Really Anyone Can Get It

Quote
“I would love to fight Dillian Whyte,” Hunter told Fite’s Matt Striker following his win, which aired live on Fite Pay-Per-View.

Looks like Whyte is now the sweepstakes in Heavyweight, Lol, anyhow, I don't think his name rings a bell to me in that division. Whyte might be looking for a more established name in heavyweight not name Joshua, Wilder or Fury.
Nah, the sweepstakes is still Fury, then Joshua. It's just the circumstances surrounding him right now had attracted a lot of heavyweights that is looking for big fights, like Hunter. But we all know that Whyte won't choose him. It's either Povetkin or other big names.

Like what the other posters said, Ruiz Jr will be a good fight for him to show his talent and be the next in line for title fights. And if he won, and Povetkin has fully recovered then they he can continue with his revenge fight.

Nah, it's a lose lose situation for Whyte here. Hunter is no name, and probably can give Dillian a good fight and who knows he can be upset here. Plus he won't get a big paycheck fighting Hunter as well, so I don't think that the team of Whyte is even thinking of Hunter right now.

And Hunter will have all the advantage here, he should build his resume first because getting a crack at top tier fighters in this weight class.

Whyte is looking for a big rebound here and he is not going to get it from an unknown fighter, he should be desperate to have a fight to someone who is as popular as he is he can only come out with two names right now, Ruiz or Wilder, any other name will do him no good he needs to get on the top again after that devastating knock out..

He should be, after suffering from that big knock out I don't think he will accept fights with unknown fighters, he needs a big name to clear doubters that he is still one of the top fighters in that division, and don't want to become a ladder for unknown fighters, he should go for a Wilder fight, this is a name that will get him on the top again.
