What are they saying?

Dillian Whyte

"I'm going to get the win and get the win in style. I'm definitely going for the knockout this time, 100 per cent. All hell will break loose if I knock him down again this time, trust me.

"I can beat him, I was beating him before and I know I can beat him. I just want to get in there and put the wrong right straightaway. We're not considering a loss, we're daring to get the win.

"I wasn't getting outclassed, it was just one of those things in heavyweight boxing. I was bossing the fight, I switched off for a second and got caught. It hasn't damaged me in any way mentally or physically.

Alexander Povetkin

"I feel fine. I'm ready to fight. The team and I are in a good mood. We are ready for the fight, we want this fight."

What are the latest odds?

• Whyte win - 2/7

• Povetkin win - 5/2

• Draw - 25/1

What is our prediction?

Whyte enters as the favourite, just as he was for the first fight - but after being KO'd in stunning fashion back in August it would be understandable if he's slightly less willing to engage this time around. However, before the Russian unleashed his brutal shot Whyte was in command and showed he can hurt Povetkin too - dropping him twice. Whyte by late stoppage.
