Dillian Whyte has already gone back to training and is working towards a rematch with Alexander Povetkin. He seems determined to get himself back inside the ring as soon as possible and avenge his loss.
Whyte has been in a long-drawn saga with the WBC regarding his mandatory challenger’s status. He stood in that position for over 1000 days and didn’t receive a shot at the title.
Before going ahead and challenging Tyson Fury for the belt, Whyte attempted to defend his interim heavyweight title. He faced off against Alexander Povetkin. A win against Povetkin would have solidified his position and made sure he takes on Fury for the title in his next fight.

Whyte was floored, and the referee didn’t even have to count to 10 to declare the match. Povetkin won the match via a fifth-round knockout. Immediately after the fight, Whyte expressed his desire to trigger a rematch clause in the contract.
