Dillian Whyte has kept his hopes of a heavyweight world-title shot alive by emphatically gaining revenge over Alexander Povetkin with an impressive knockout win in their rematch.

Whyte showed control and smart timing from the start before a decisive attack in the fourth round.

A right hand sent Povetkin backwards, another sent him into the ropes and a left hook floored him heavily.

He found his feet but was rightly stopped to suffer his third loss.

Only Anthony Joshua and Wladimir Klitschko had previously beaten Povetkin in 39 previous fights.
