Dillian Whyte will get the chance to avenge his stunning knockout defeat to Alexander Povetkin in a rematch on November 21, Matchroom Boxing has announced.

British heavyweight Whyte’s hopes of a world-title shot were blown away by Povetkin in August when he was knocked out in the fifth round having dominated the fight.
