The ‘Body Snatcher’ Dillian Whyte put up his career-best performance in the Alexander Povetkin rematch. The Brit battered Povetkin to the pulp and claimed a sensational T/KO win. Whyte was under terrific pressure coming into this bout, but he kept himself collected and composed to add a gratifying win to his resume.

That said, the 32-year-old has now opened himself up for even bigger fights/opponents in the big men’s division. Moreover, he’s already getting lined up for a much-awaited matchup against none other than Deontay Wilder.
