Dillian Whyte vs Alexander Povetkin Betting Tips, Predictions & Odds (Boxing - 22.8.2020)
- Written by David Bet
It’s a welcome return to the ring for heavyweight boxing as Matchroom Sport bring Dillian Whyte and Alexander Povetkin together in a huge behind-closed-doors bout for the WBC interim Heavyweight title.
It’s going to be an excellent encounter, and an important one too as Whyte looks to take the win and set up a big money encounter with one of the big three fighters.
Below you’ll find our betting preview for Whyte v Povetkin, alongside the best odds currently available to back.
Taking place on Saturday August 22, it’s the headline fight of an exciting undercard, which sees Katie Taylor take on Delfine Persoon directly before. Whyte is expected to walk into the ring at around 10pm, with the fight live on Sky Sports Box Office. The full fight card ahead of Whyte v Povetkin is:
He has previously beat David Price and more recently Hughie Fury, so has a history of beating Brits and is priced at 11/4 to take the win in this bout. The draw/technical draw can be backed at 22/1.
He wasn’t at his best out in Riyadh late last year and Whyte will certainly be looking to expose him and pick up another knockout.

We expect him to get the win though. The win by decision looks a good bet at 7/5 with Paddy Power, particularly given that four of his last five fights have been won on the judges scorecards.
Povetkin has only lost two fights, against Anthony Joshua and Wladimir Klitschko, with only Joshua having been able to knock him out. It would take some big hitting by Whyte for that to happen, and it’s also priced at 6/4.
The stoppage could be a possibility late in the rounds though, especially as training will certainly have been hampered by the circumstances we’re currently living in. Therefore if you’re looking at the KO/TKO markets, we’d back Whyte in Round 7-12 at 23/10 with Paddy Power
