WBC: Povetkin smashes Dillian Whyte In The 5th Round

The WBC heavyweight division on Saturday night was thrown into a quiet state after Dillian Whyte was knocked out cold by the Russian heavy puncher, Alexander Povetkin in the 5th round of their bout.

Dillian Whyte was knocked out cold by Alexander Povetkin who viciously obstructed the Brixton boxer’s world title ambitions on Saturday night.

Whyte apparently had controlled the fight after having Alexander Povetkin dropped twice in the 4th round. Unfortunately, Whyte was smashed by a left uppercut in the 5th round that ended his hopes in a flash.

Whyte would have had a mandatory challenge of Tyson Fury’s WBC heavyweight championship finally enforced after a 1000-day wait with a win at Fight Camp but became the victim of a stunning come-from-behind victory.

What’s next for Dillian Whyte.

Dillian Whyte has requested for a rematch to take place in December.
