Whyte comments on Povetkin's decision to retire

Dillian White commented on Alexander Povetkin ending his sports career in social networks: “Happy retirement to one of the best modern day heavyweight and a great champion god bless you enjoy your next chapter and thank your for two great fights,” wrote the Body Snatcher with the hashtag #truewarrior.

In recent months, Whyte and Povetkin have fought two times for the interim WBC heavyweight title. Both ended in knockout - the first was won by the Russian, the second - by the Englishman.
