Dillian Whyte is just a few days away from his huge rematch with Alexander Povetkin for the Interim WBC Heavyweight World Title. The fight will be taking place at the Europa Point Sports Complex in Gibraltar on Saturday March 27.
Speaking to Matchroom Boxing, Dillian Whyte said that he knows the magnitude of this match. “This time I’ll beat him, and we’ll see what people are going to say.” said Whyte. “One, two or three losses means nothing to a Heavyweight nowadays.”
“If you fight good fighters, the main thing is you can come back” Dillian Whyte continued. “This is a must-win fight for me, but I’m not a guy that worries about pressure. I just smile and take it in my stride.”
Dillian Whyte on Alexander Povetkin
‘I was a fighter a long time before I was a boxer. I’ve been knocking people out for a long time. I carry a lot of power in both hands. Povetkin is a very cagey guy and an experienced guy, a very patient guy. He’s a tough guy as well.”
“Last time I didn’t land properly and he went down” Whyte stated. £But he showed resilience by getting up and then he stopped me. This time when I hit him he’ll stay down. I’m a very adaptable kind of guy, I’ll do what I need to do to get the win. I don’t care if I’ve got to rough a guy up or outbox them.”
Whyte then re-iterated how this is the biggest fight of his pro career. “I’ll do whatever it takes for me to win. It’s the biggest fight of my career. I’m coming off a loss to the guy. The good thing is this is Heavyweight boxing. One fight changes everything.”
