Fair play for going straight back in. At a lower level this is what ruined David Price. Whyte is made of sterner stuff than Price. He'll be fine and right whatever wrongs there were.
Title fight, immediate rematch, fair enough. This? Not so sure.

Povetkin should at least drag him over to Russia. Beautifully set up by Povetkin the finish was far more considered and executed than a bolt from the blue. I am not sold on Whyte ever getting much further, and if anything he has been lucky to get the opportunities he already has.
