Dillian Whyte is all set to contend with Alexander Povetkin this Saturday. The pair will fight yet again for the WBC interim heavyweight strap. In their first meeting, Povetkin floored Whyte and took the entire combat sports fraternity by storm. Yet, Whyte took that loss into his stride and is walking into the rematch with an optimistic mindset.

Recently, the ‘Body Snatcher’ got interviewed by Fight Hub TV. He spoke on the importance of mindset for this upcoming rematch.

He said, “In my life, the way I’m from always brought up, the things I have to do, you ain’t got time to be gun shy. You know if you’re gun shy or hesitant, you get killed.” 

“It doesn’t have to be much different man, just change a few things. A bit more consistent in a few areas and whatever, but it’s business usually you know. I just try and just do as much damage as I can.”

Growing up, Whyte didn’t really enjoy a happening childhood as he faced several barriers throughout his life. Hence, that’s principally why feels being hesitant or scared can never be on the cards for him.

Moving into the Povetkin rematch, the ‘Body Snatcher’ wishes to seek his revenge, claim the interim belt, and fulfill his lifelong dream of boxing for a world championship.
