Dillian Whyte will face Alexander Povetkin in a rematch on 21st November and attempt to position himself for a shot at the world heavyweight title.

Britain's Whyte was dominating Russia's Povetkin when they met on 22 August but was knocked out by a vicious left hand.

It cost the 32-year-old a shot at a world title early in 2021 but a rematch clause in the contract will afford him another fight with Povetkin, 41.

Promoter Eddie Hearn says the bout is "must-win" for Whyte.
