I think Povetkin being that few years older than we saw against AJ is a big factor here and it's good timing for Whyte to face him now.

I really don't rate Whyte all that much. He has had some good wins since his loss but he seems a bit of a plodding slugger to me. Not much to his game and he held on by the skin of his teeth against a live Parker.

It's still an interesting bout though and he has definitely earned his shot for another title be it against Fury, AJ or Wilder.
