Alexander Povetkin vs Dillian Whyte 2 takes place this weekend for the WBC 'interim' heavyweight title.

I’m not trying to spend no more extra time with this guy or in this fight. Get my belts so I can go home.” What TV channel is Povetkin vs Whyte on?

Whyte on the challenge facing him: "There was days when I wanted to give up but thank God, I didn’t. I kept pushing forward and kept on defeating obstacle after obstacle after obstacle. Don’t get me wrong, it’s stressful and it’s hard and it’s difficult, but it’s easier for me to give Povetkin credit, dust myself off and do it again. I can beat this guy.” Eddie Hearn on Whyte: “He didn’t come through the Olympic system, he had no amateur pedigree. He used to fight on undercards for nothing just to get a chance.“He got himself into a world championship position and last August it came crashing down in just one of the most stunning knockouts and turnarounds in heavyweight history.”
