Britain’s Dillian Whyte, the mandatory challenger for Tyson Fury’s WBC heavyweight title, will face Alexander Povetkin in Manchester on 2 May.
Whyte has only lost once – to Anthony Joshua – in 28 fights, while Russian Povetkin is a former world champion.
“I am not overlooking him. He will come in shape, he’s tough and very well-schooled,” said Whyte, 31.
