So when does Dillian Whyte get his shot, his own promoter don’t even fukk with him

Going by that tweet I’d assume 2021 which is when he is currently mandated by WBC to get it. Seems the plan is AJ vs Fury in December, winner faces Whyte in the mandatory then they rematch in summer 2021.

Not an easy fight for Whyte, Povetkin while he isn’t at his absolute best anymore he’s still good as showed in the Hunter fight. I actually had Povetkin winning that by 1 round, it was a close fight. Whyte could have easily waited it out and fought garbage opponents but he’s gone with a fighter who was at high level and still carries a threat. I’d pick Whyte as the favourite at this stage but he’ll have to be in shape and ready. Povetkin has some good power. Have a feeling the undercard may be very strong, am hoping so.
