Whyte vs. Povetkin will be the main event of an exciting card. It will be a test for the Englishman’s mindset and attitude. However, given his hometown and the area he grew up in, Whyte should have no problems, come fight night.

As per BoxRec, the Londoner was born in Portland, Jamaica but lives in Brixton, London, England. However, his story goes beyond that. Born in Jamaica, Whyte followed his mother and moved to London aged 12.
