    Yeah it does seem this is more than likely what had happened.

    Didn't they try to move camp from a country on the restricted list to one not listed?

    It was probably too high profile for the government to allow them to skirt restrictions given how much the Conservative government get it in the neck over how they handle Covid-19.

    So it wouldn't be good for either fighter if they had to stay 10 days in a hotel room.

    Correct choice to move the fight. Though frustrating that it's pushed back again.

    Povetkin and Whyte both failed one test. Povetkin's first failed test was overturned by the WBC, who recognized that he had trace amounts of a substance that had only just been made illegal. Similarly, Whyte's SECOND bust was overtuned when the B sample tested negative.

    Yes, but Whyte is pushing it back now, so...

    Povetkin still looks 10 years younger than Whyte

    because he doesn't want to lose 10 days sitting in a hotel room. This a must win fight and he doesn't want to leave anything to chance.
