Dillian Whyte will take on Alexander Povetkin on the final weekend of Eddie Hearn's 'Fight Camp' series. Tyson Fury's mandatory challenger Whyte had been due to take on the Russian in May. However, due to coronavirus crises, the fight was rescheduled. He will instead attempt to set up a shot at Fury by beating Povetkin in Hearn's back garden on August 22 with Katie Taylor supporting against an as-yet-unnamed opponent. Hearn has announced his full line-up of fights with his first show on August 1 headlined by Sam Eggington vs Ted Cheeseman.
