Whyte will face Russian Alexander Povetkin in a heavyweight rematch in Gibraltar on Saturday.

Whyte's rematch with Povetkin is seen as win or bust, according to the boxing fraternity.

Brixton fighter Whyte, 32, is bidding for revenge in Gibraltar after falling victim to a stunning knock-out by the 41-year-old Russian in August.

Whyte said he will go for the knockout this time, having floored the Russian twice in their previous meeting.

“The guy’s lost his mind, man! I don’t think he’ll ever box again. His mind is completely gone.”

The two rivals went toe-to-toe at London's O2 Arena with the British and Commonwealth titles on the line.

"Even in a pandemic I feel like this is the strongest start to a year Matchroom have had in a long time."

The 31-year-old has faced many challenges during his rise to the top of heavyweight boxing.
