Alexander Povetkin vs Dillian Whyte Preview
English welterweight prospect Chris Kongo is back when he takes on Michael McKinson in an included session. Kongo has amassed a 12-0 record with seven knockouts in his young genius profession. He’s yet to venture up in rivalry, be that as it may, is as yet anticipating a genuine test in the ring. McKinson is a gentle advance up as he claims a 19-0 record, however has only two knockouts.
After over 1,000 days as mandatory challenger for the WBC belt, the Brixton man’s hopes of an overdue title shot went up in smoke as he was sparked out by a left uppercut in the fifth round that went down as the best punch of 2020.
Povetkin will turn 42 this year and is already at an age where a fighter can fall off a cliff from one fight to the next. When you add covid to the mix, the type of form he will be in is a real question mark. If he is still the fighter he was last year, he stands a good shot.

Alexander Povetkin vs. Dillian Whyte Past Fight Record
Povetkin is a former heavyweight titlist and Olympic gold medalist, and though he’s had a successful career and has built an impressive record of 36-2-1 (25 KOs), he’s never beat the absolute best of the division. His two losses came to Wladimir Klitschko and Anthony Joshua. In my eyes, Whyte is not as good as those fighters but is still better than Povetkin’s best wins (Carlos Takam, Marco Huck).
Whyte has waited years as a mandatory title opponent to finally get his shot at a belt. Then, his KO loss to Povetkin wiped out that opportunity. But if Whyte (27-2, 18 KOs) wins the rematch, he, once again, will be considered one of the five best heavyweights in the world. source: forbes

Povetkin and Whyte Key Facts
Alexander Povetkin (36-2-1, 25 KOs) recovered after being put on the canvas twice in the opening four rounds to claim a stunning victory courtesy of a surprise uppercut knockout in the fifth round when these two fighters met last August as part of Matchroom’s summer Fight Camp series.
The winner will likely be in line to challenge the victor of matches between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua for unified heavyweight titles.
The pair squared off in an August 2020 match in which Whyte dominated the opening four rounds, knocking Povetkin to the mat twice. The Russian, however, was able to land a miracle punch in the fifth round that downed Whyte via TKO for his second career defeat.
That came on the back of his controversial draw with Michael Hunter, who isn’t the biggest puncher at heavyweight and rocked the Russian to his boots on several occasions, while the seventh-round knockout at the hands of Anthony Joshua in 2018 may also have weakened Povetkin’s durability.
