Dillian Whyte gets his shot at redemption when he faces Alexander Povetkin in Gibraltar on March 27, but can ‘The Body Snatcher’ get his quest for a world heavyweight title fight back on track or will the former champion destroy his dream by knocking him out for a second time?
Our Pick:
Dillian Whyte By Win by Decision @ 3.00
Dillian Whyte In Rounds 7-9 @ 5.50
Povetkin weathered a violent early storm from Whtye putting the Russian in trouble we have not seen for a while. If he makes the same mistakes, Whyte will not let him off the hook. He has the power to expose any holes and land a knockout early. Whyte is unlikely to get reckless here, he will adopt a cautious and calculated approach that will prevent Povetkin from getting inside and doing damage, and while it may not be pleasing on the eye and create fireworks, it should be enough to get him the nod from the judges and catapult him right back to the front of the queue for a world title shot.
