The corresponding clause was in the battle contract.
According to the athlete's promoter Eddie Hearn, White asked him to organize a re-fight as soon as he came to his senses.
“Povetkin is now a mandatory contender for the WBC title, but White was the only one who would be assigned a fight with the winner of the Tyson Fury - Deontay Wilder fight. We will exercise this right to a rematch. We want to hold it before the end of this year, and it will be a big fight ”, - quotes the words of Hearn Sky Sports.
Earlier it was reported that Nikolay Valuev commented on the outcome of the Povetkin-White fight.
