Asked if it had been a mistake against Povetkin rather than waiting for his mandatory chance at the Fury belt, Whyte told Sky Sports News the morning after his defeat: “I have no regrets.”

“It was a great fight and Povetkin did well. I knew I could beat him, I showed that from the first round. Obviously he is very experienced.”
