This is reported by RIA Novosti with reference to the athlete's team.
Povetkin on November 21 in Great Britain was supposed to hold a second fight with Dillian White, but the fight was canceled due to the detection of coronavirus infection in a Russian.
The first fight, which took place in August, ended with Povetkin's victory by knockout in the fifth round.
Povetkin then won the interim WBC heavyweight title.
Earlier, Derek Chisora expressed his readiness to replace Povetkin in a fight with White.
