Eddie Hearn believes Dillian Whyte will knock Alexander Povetkin out

The bout between the two fighters will also have on the line the vacant WBC Diamond belt. The crucial fixture will be key in deciding who ‘The Gypsy King‘ will defend his have his first WBC title defense against. Hearn, on his part, believes that Whyte will knock Povetkin out between rounds 8 and 12.

However, another possibility is that before he fights the Interim champion, he may fight in a title unification bout against yet another fighter in Hearn’s stable, Anthony Joshua. Both sides have been aching to materialize the title unification bout.

Even though they offered step-aside money to ‘The Bronze Bomber‘, Wilder is determined to avenge the loss he faced back in February. As soon as possible. In fact, rumors show a tentative date for the trilogy in the first week of December.

Therefore, the complexity of the Heavyweight scenario, especially regarding Fury, is ever increasing.

If he is successful in putting Wilder down a second time, he will have two scenarios to juggle with. Both AJ and Fury are keen on a title unification. Yet, boxing organizations will lean towards Fury’s mandatory title defense against the winner of Whyte vs Povetkin.
