The much anticipated rematch between the Bodysnatcher and the White Lion is on! Read on for your full guide to getting a Alexander Povetkin vs Dillian Whyte 2 live stream and watch the Heavyweight title fight online from anywhere.
Taking place in the somewhat unusual setting of Gibraltar, Brixton-born Whyte will be determined to exact revenge tonight, having been way ahead on points in last August's encounter between these two fighters, only to see his hopes of taking the WBC interim heavyweight vanish.
Despite his commanding position, Whyte was left stunned by Povetkin, after an incredible uppercut by the Russian ended the fight in the fifth round.
Quick to take up the rematch clause, Whyte has been left frustrated after this fight was postponed three times in order for Povetkin to recover from Covid-19 and also due to travel restrictions.
Now at last set to take place at the Europa Point Sports Complex in Gibraltar, we've got all the info on how to live stream Povetkin vs Whyte 2 no matter where you are in the world with our guide below. And if you happen to be outside of the country and can't access your preferred domestic boxing broadcaster, you can always use a VPN to bypass those geo-restrictions.
