Whyte has been in a long-drawn saga with the WBC regarding his mandatory challenger’s status. He stood in that position for over 1000 days and didn’t receive a shot at the title.

Before going ahead and challenging Tyson Fury for the belt, Whyte attempted to defend his interim heavyweight title. He faced off against Alexander Povetkin. A win against Povetkin would have solidified his position and made sure he takes on Fury for the title in his next fight.

On August 22, Alexander Povetkin — who was the underdog — delivered a nasty uppercut that knocked the lights off Whyte. Whyte was floored, and the referee didn’t even have to count to 10 to declare the match. Povetkin won the match via a fifth-round knockout. Immediately after the fight, Whyte expressed his desire to trigger a rematch clause in the contract.
