Speaking about Sergey Kovalev vs Sullivan Barrera, Oscar De La Hoya said

“Whether it’s in Riverside County or Los Angeles County, it is clear that we must take every precaution to prevent the potential spread of COVID-19. We lament the hardship this has caused for our fighters, partners, employees and state officials, and we look forward to providing better news in the coming weeks.”

The virus has sent the sports world into a complete shutdown. Kovalev isn’t the only high profile fighter facing the brunt of the virus. Several fights stand cancelled or postponed due to the outbreak with most promotions recording staggering losses.
This was to be the Russian’s come back fight after his thrilling 11-round fight against Canelo Alvarez. But by the looks of it, Kovalev will have to wait for his redemption fight.
