Hearn said, “Must-win because Dillian Whyte’s aim is to win a world heavyweight championship,”
“If he loses against Povetkin, that is out – and it’s not just out for six months or a year. That could be out forever.”
“I think it’s going to be a firefight. I think Whyte is going to go out there and try and impose himself on the fight, and I think he’s going to try and knock out Povetkin in style.”

Ever since that loss, the ‘Body Snatcher’ wanted a rematch with the latter desperately. Moreover, he’ll be extremely keen to vanquish Povetkin from his way, thus lining himself up for a title shot.
