SKY Sports DAZN
On August 22, British heavyweight Dillian Whyte (27-1, 8KOs) is putting his WBC interim World heavyweight title on the line against the Russian powerhouse Alexander Povetkin (35-2-1, 24KOs). On the undercard we will see Katie Taylor vs Delfine Persoon for the World Boxing Council World Female Light Title. Whyte has announced an amicable split from Tibbs, who has trained him for the past four years, ahead of his fight with Povetkin on August 22, live on Sky Sports Box Office. The British heavyweight will have a new voice in his corner for a risky battle with the Russian, whose only losses have come to Wladimir Klitschko and Anthony Joshua, as Whyte attempts to stay on course for a mandatory shot at Tyson Fury's WBC belt.
