Dillian Whyte predicts ‘all hell will break loose’ if he knocks Povetkin down again as Brit vows not to repeat mistakes

DILLIAN WHYTE predicted ‘all hell will break loose’ if he knocks Alexander Povetkin down again.

And the British star promised not to repeat the same mistakes when their rematch finally goes ahead.

Dillian Whyte promised to finish Alexander Povetkin off next time he gets him on the canvas

Whyte, 32, sat the Russian down on the canvas twice in the fourth round of their August bout.

But he allowed Povetkin back into the fight before being stunned by a brutal KO uppercut in the fifth.

The Body Snatcher, however, is confident he will not allow his opponent a foothold should he get his opponent down again – and will instead go in for the Dill.

Whyte said: “I’m going to get the win and get the win in style. I’m definitely going for the knockout this time, 100 per cent. All hell will break loose if I knock him down again this time, trust me.

“I can beat him, I was beating him before and I know I can beat him. I just want to get in there and put the wrong right straightaway. We’re not considering a loss, we’re daring to get the win.

“I wasn’t getting outclassed, it was just one of those things in heavyweight boxing. I was bossing the fight, I switched off for a second and got caught. It hasn’t damaged me in any way mentally or physically.

“Muhammad Ali got beaten, the greatest of all time Sugar Ray Robinson, they all got stopped. Boxing is like life: you don’t win everything, it’s not every day in life you wake up and you’re so positive and you’re jumping around.

“You have to keep going and be strong mentally and physically and just keep grafting. I know I can beat Povetkin, it’s not like I need to change this or become this, I’ve just got to prepare and come ready to go to war.”

The rematch was due to take place in November but got postponed after Povetkin, 41, was hospitalised with coronavirus – something Whyte publicly accusing his rival of faking it.

Then the March 6 date was also pushed back due to travel restrictions with Eddie Hearn revealing the ‘Rumble on the Rock’ will be staged in Gibraltar on March 27.

Whyte, who has been in Portugal for most of the last year in training camps before switching to Spain last month, added: “It’s been difficult but I’ve got a job to do and I’m just focused on the job. I’ve been in limbo with the job, so this has been a continuous training camp.

“It’s been frustrating. He said he had Covid, which is really mysterious because there was no evidence of him ever having Covid. We requested everything and didn’t get anything.

“If he did have Covid then I’m wrong for saying he didn’t and I’ll put my hands up to it, but if he didn’t then he’s a b****.”

The Russian battled back to stun the Body Snatcher with a brutal uppercut in the fifth round
