Dillian Whyte and Alexander Povetkin will meet again for the interim WBC heavyweight title.
Dillian Whyte gets a chance at Saturday’s release when he fights Alexander Povetkin for the WBC heavyweight interim title in Gibraltar.
In August, Whyte appeared to be close to holding his belt after taking control of all four opening rounds and knocking down Povetkin twice in the fourth round. However, things can change in the overweight section in the blink of an eye and that is what happened when Povetkin’s uppercut kicked Whyte’s head off the canvas in the fifth round to catch the gold.
The bout was reorganized twice because Povetkin has the coronavirus. Now, the Russian is 100 percent ready to prove that it is not the first time fluke.
DAZN News will broadcast live of Dillian Whyte vs Alexander Povetkin starting at 2pm ET.
