Alexander Povetkin-Dillian Whyte heavyweight rematch moves to March 27 in Gibraltar

ESPN


The rematch between WBC interim heavyweight titleholder Alexander Povetkin and Dillian Whyte has been postponed to March 27 and will now be held in Gibraltar, Matchroom Sports announced Saturday.

The fight was originally scheduled for March 6 in London. It was moved because of COVID-19-related travel restrictions in the UK.

"In the current environment we are always having to think on our feet," Matchroom Sports managing director Eddie Hearn said in a release. "We did everything to try and make March 6 happen, but with the new travel restrictions it was impossible. Now we have something outside the box, compelling, and a unique setting for one of the heavyweight fights of the year."

The event will be streamed in the U.S. on DAZN.

In their first fight on Aug. 22, Povetkin (36-2-1, 25 KOs), 40, of Russia, survived two knockdowns in Round 4 to stop Whyte (27-2, 18 KOs), 32, of England in the fifth round with an incredible left uppercut that sent Whyte to the canvas for good.

The winner of the rematch could get a title shot against WBC full heavyweight world champion Tyson Fury in late 2021.

Another loss to Povetkin will definitely send him back to the end of the line.

WHYTE VS. POVETKIN 2: THE BACKGROUND
Alexander Povetkin seemingly forgot to read the script when he knocked Dillian Whyte out last year at Matchroom's groundbreaking Fight Camp. Whyte believed he was on his way to the top of boxing's heavyweight division and after dropping the veteran Russian twice in the fourth round, it looked like Whyte was about to enjoy a massive win. Things dramatically changed in the fight's next round.

Staying composed despite receiving plenty of punishment, Povetkin found a gap in Whyte's defence and brutally exploited it with a stunning uppercut that ended the fight. If it wasn't the knockout of 2020, it was certainly the biggest shock. Whyte's dreams of being the world's best heavyweight were emphatically put on hold. Can he put things right when he takes on Povetkin again?
