Dillian Whyte vs Alexander Povetkin

[Alpha]

Whyte needs to be in much better shape, and for the challenge of Povetkin he probably will be. This seems like a tough fight for both guys.

Whyte should win by ko Povetkin is passed his best it's a treading water fight for Whyte.
A respectable opponent with a good record Dillian should be way too much for Povetkin one fighter on the up the other on the way down.

Whyte hasn't looked good of late. Parker had him out at the end of their fight, he had to go to war with Chisora for 11 rounds. The whole Rivas debacle and was down in that fight as well, was over-weight and unimpressive against Wach. This could be quite an evenly matched fight.

'If Ruiz can knock him out, I can' - Whyte still eyeing Joshua fight

Dillian Whyte has no doubt he could knock out Anthony Joshua if he were granted a huge domestic rematch with the heavyweight champion.

Ahead of his Manchester bout with Alexander Povetkin, presently scheduled for May 2, Whyte wants to maintain his momentum and earn a shot at fellow Briton Joshua.

IBF, WBA and WBO champion Joshua is the only person to have defeated Whyte (27-1), having knocked him out in 2015.

But Whyte believes the outcome will be different in a second meeting, citing his superior skillset to Andy Ruiz Jr.

Ruiz stunningly stopped Joshua in New York last June, only to lose the December rematch in Saudi Arabia.

"If Ruiz can knock him out, I can 100 per cent knock him out, because I'm a harder puncher than Andy Ruiz, pound-for-pound," Whyte said to Sky Sports.

"I've got better feet than him as well, and better boxing technique than Andy Ruiz. He's got fast hands, but his feet are slow.

"I've shown also in fights that I can come back from being down on the scorecards and I carry knockout power in the later stages of the fight as well, which is a big thing for a heavyweight.



"A lot of heavyweights can only get you in one to six rounds. If they don't get you early, then that's a wrap for them.

"I showed you that I can get you round one, round two, round three, round four, or even round 11 and round 12, I can get you."

Eager not to get lost in the shuffle once again, Whyte is mandatory champion for the WBC, whose champion Tyson Fury is pencilled in for a third battle with Deontay Wilder and is also being targeted by Joshua.

Oleksandr Usyk is another name in the heavyweight title mix, but amid multiple lucrative opportunities, there remains one standout for Whyte if he could pick an opponent to fight for all the belts.

"I would love to fight Joshua again, at a drop of a hat,” added Whyte.

"It's one of the biggest fights out there. I'm in the game to have the biggest fights and the most meaningful fights. I'm trying to make history.

"Imagine, to get one shot at all the marbles at once, how unreal that would be after all this nonsense - out of nowhere, me and Joshua fight, I knock him out and became undisputed champion of the world."

If you say so Dillian

Still not buying that Whyte is an improved fighter. Maybe that's me. I preferred the lunatic that got taken out by Joshua. I think that guy also beats Chisora Parker Browne and Rivas and doesn't get fat and look like turd against Wach.

I think Povetkin has slipped enough for Whyte to have the advantage. I'm far from confident tho.

Looking forward to this one tomorrow, I've struggled to get back into the boxing following the lay off, I've had shit going on which has caused the boxing to take a back seat, when I have watched the Friday night fights they have been alright but I've always had a bit of a drink and haven't been able to get into it properly and often watched it with my music on.

I've got the bug back now though, been watching all the interviews and build up for tomorrows fight, yeah it isn't the greatest fight ever but it has the potential to be a real fucking scrap, I'll be ordering myself some grub in and watching the whole card.

Nearly didn't happen due to an unexpected invite but fuck it, boxing comes before people in my books from now on.

This will be amazing.

Brilliant shot by Povetkin. The 1st 3 rounds were competitive. Whyte has always struggled to guard against the uppercut. I think he should have listened to his corner and stayed behind the jab and out of danger for another few rounds. Povetkin set him up perfectly to land.
