Dillian Whyte and Alexander Povetkin will headline the main event on Saturday night. This rematch between the two bigwig heavyweights is one of the most heavily awaited boxing fights in recent times. Given both the boxer’s eye-catchy profiles, this bout can unquestionably be one of the best in 2021. This rematch was booked for late 2020 itself, but the Russian succumbed to COVID-19. Consequently, this rematch had to be pushed ahead. Recently, the ‘Body Snatcher’ spoke to Fight Hub TV on this pertaining juncture. He said, “I don’t know man, this is boxing and people play games and chained all his mind and mess and all of that. So who knows if he was sick then I’m glad he’s alright, I’m glad he’s okay. If he wasn’t, then f**k him.” Dillian Whyte [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/GettyImages-1074609302.jpg]LONDON, ENGLAND – DECEMBER 22: Dillian Whyte celebrates victory over Dereck Chisora after the Heavyweight fight between Dillian Whyte and Dereck Chisora at The O2 Arena on December 22, 2018 in London, England. (Photo by Richard Heathcote/Getty Images) In their first fight, Dillian Whyte [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/dillian-whyte/] was an abrupt favorite, and he fared the way everyone expected him to. He even dropped Povetkin twice in the fight, but the bout slid off his hands when he fell prey to the ‘Russian Vityaz’s brutal uppercut. Whyte was left unconscious on the canvas and the fight finished in round 5 [https://boxrec.com/en/event/810690/2502537]. This loss not only put a dent on ‘Body Snatcher’s title fight aspirations, but also put a fleck on his pro-boxing resume. However, the Brit, fortunately, earned a rematch with his foe and will know that this will be his biggest bout yet. Read – Teofimo Lopez Feels Caleb Plant Gives Problems to Canelo Alvarez [https://www.essentiallysports.com/boxing-news-teofimo-lopez-feels-caleb-plant-gives-problems-to-canelo-alvarez/] CAN A RIFT WITH ALEXANDER POVETKIN HELP DILLIAN WHYTE GIVE HIS BEST IN THIS FIGHT? Ever since Whyte suffered a brutal loss to Povetkin [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/alexander-povetkin/], he wanted the rematch. Furthermore, his cosmic beef with the ‘Russian Vityaz’ has assisted him in pushing the limits in preparations for this fight. Despite this, the prime motivating factor for him is that this fight will confer the winner with the WBC interim heavyweight belt. Thus, a title shot will be just one ring walk away. Whyte wants to give it his best shot in this fight and get his hand raised. If he claims a win this Saturday, needless to say, Whyte will relax until he gets his hands on the champion. 

In a pre-fight interview, 'Body Snatcher' Dillian Whyte opens up on his rival
Alexander Povetkin, who contracted COVID-19 late last year.

(Photo by Dan Mullan/Getty Images)[/caption]
<h2 style="text-align: center">Early Life and History</h2>
Prior to getting into professional boxing, Whyte had a <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://whytepovetkinfights.com/dillian-whyte/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tough</a> upbringing. Combat sports were his escape from these evils.

His first taste of combat sports was <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://peoplepill.com/people/dillian-whyte/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">kickboxing</a>. The Englishman had so much success in the sport that he was a two-time British heavyweight champion by winning the BIKMA title. He also won the European K1 title.

Whyte then made the switch to <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.sportingnews.com/us/boxing/news/who-is-dillian-whyte-boxer-record-biography-where-from-history-background/isfe4qsfdoty1hkuhvr6n9ky1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">MMA</a>, where he fought at the Ultimate Challenge MMA. However, Whyte only ever made one appearance in the cage; eventually moving to boxing at 20.

In his first-ever amateur fight, Whyte took on the current heavyweight champion of the world, Anthony Joshua, and beat the Englishman. However, his <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://boxrec.com/media/index.php/Dillian_Whyte" target="_blank" rel="noopener">amateur career</a> was cut short and Whyte turned professional in 2011.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Professional career highlights</h2>
Whyte made his professional debut in 2011 against Tayar Mehmed and won on points. The 'Body Snatcher' has not looked back since and has slowly become one of the best heavyweights in the world.

He even held multiple regional titles, like the <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2019/jul/20/dilian-whyte-interim-wbc-heavyweight-title-oscar-rivas" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WBC Interim</a> and the British Heavyweight <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/boxing/1935139/dillian-whyte-wins-the-british-heavyweight-title-after-beating-ian-lewison-in-10-round-battle/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">title</a>. However, he is still chasing the elusive world title.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Boxing career highlights</h2>
Whyte has been involved in several high-profile battles over the years. He has fought the likes of Dereck Chisora twice, Joseph Parker, Oscar Rivas, and Lucas Browne, and come out victorious in each of these fights. His only two defeats have come against <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2598441-anthony-joshua-vs-dillian-whyte-winner-recap-and-reaction" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Anthony Joshua</a> and <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://talksport.com/sport/boxing/749570/dillian-whyte-vs-alexander-povetkin-result-knockout-ko/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Alexander Povetkin</a>.

2021 was a crucial year for the Englishman, where he had the opportunity to avenge his defeat to Alexander Povetkin. He did just that. Whyte defeated Povetkin via TKO in the fourth round and once again became the WBC interim heavyweight champion.

Now, Dillian Whyte will clash in a title unification bout to unify his interim title against <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/tyson-fury/">Tyson Fury</a>, the current WBC and The Ring heavyweight champion. Fury vs. Whyte will take place at the Wembley Stadium in London, England, on April 23, 2022.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Personal Life</h2>
Whyte was born to his parents in Jamaica on April 11, 1988. His mother, on the other hand, abandoned him and relocated to England. Whyte was left with his father until he was 12 years old, according to <a href="https://britishboxingnews.co.uk/blogs/10-things-you-didn-t-know-about-dillian-whyte" target="_blank" rel="noopener">British Boxing News</a>. He did, however, fly to England when he was 13 to see his mother.

Dillian Whyte had no formal education at the time. He fell into criminality and street turmoil as a result of his lack of education. Whyte is reportedly said to have been stabbed multiple times in road battles throughout his adolescence. He also had an older sibling who died while he was a child.

From that point on, his life followed a different path. When Whyte was in his late teens, he was arrested, and his mother went to see him, only to cry and say she didn't want to lose another child. When Whyte was set free, he never went back to his dark days and became a serious boxer.

Besides the above-mentioned, the only thing known to the world about his family is that he is a married man and a father of three (two sons and one daughter). 
<h3 style="text-align: center">Dillian Whyte: Foundation and Charity</h3>
‘The Body Snatcher’ is no stranger to doing his bit to give back to charity. In 2019, the charismatic heavyweight put aside his fiery demeanor and took an open training <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/10081660/dillian-whyte-boxing-training-fight-gym/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">session</a> for aspiring professionals in a Brixton boxing gym. The session went on for four hours.

Earlier in 2020, the heavyweight participated in the <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.worldboxingnews.net/2020/04/29/dillian-whyte-tony-bellew-fifa-cup-nhs/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NHS Charities together cup</a>. The event was a FIFA tournament filled with celebrities, aimed at raising funds for the NHS during the pandemic. Thus, Whyte has clearly shown his desire to give back to the people.
<h3 style="text-align: center">Dillian Whyte: Endorsements 2022</h3>
The heavyweight contender is backed by famous gloves company <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.facebook.com/Flysportsuk/posts/1505230506298863:0" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fly</a> for all his fights.

He is also backed by clothing line, <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://uk.boxraw.com/pages/dillian-whyte" target="_blank" rel="noopener">BoxRaw</a>.

According to <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.celebritynetworth.com/richest-athletes/richest-boxers/dillian-whyte-net-worth/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">celebritynetworth.com</a>, Dillian Whyte has a reported net worth of $1 million as of March 2022. The primary source of income for the heavyweight is his boxing. However, his value is expected to rise considering his upcoming title unification bout against Tyson Fury on April 23, 2022.
