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.”
The last time when Povetkin and Whyte battled each other out, it was the ‘Russian Vityaz’ who came out on top and added a thrilling win to his name.
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.
