This Saturday, Dillian Whyte will finally step inside the squared circle for his much-anticipated rematch against Alexander Povetkin. He’s waited to get his hands on the ‘Russian Vityaz’ ever since he lost to him in August 2020. ‘Body Snatcher’ now wants to settle his scores with the latter and align himself for his long-time dream of a title fight.

Unfortunately, Whyte’s fight future seems in jeopardy even if he wins this Saturday night battle, as he will have to cool his heels until Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua battle each other out to determine the ultimate king of heavyweights.
That said, a fight between him and the ex-WBC champ, Deontay Wilder is intriguing the fans. This principally means that the ‘Body Snatcher’ will have to pass an even tougher test to make himself truly viable for a title shot.

In fact, a few days back, the WBC President Mauricio Sulaiman asserted that a fight between Wilder and Whyte will interest him. And he would like to see the duo collide in the coming time.
This might be the scenario if Whyte wins this Saturday. On the other hand, if he suffers his second consecutive defeat, his title fight aspirations might vanish forever.
Not only that, but he’ll barely get his hands on such decorated opponents after going 0-2 against Povetkin. Hence, the 27-2 boxer will be desperate that his career stats read 28-2 in the next week.
