Fight prediction
Both men have been in wars over the years and each hold a knockout highlight reel that is as good as anyone else's at the top of the division.
At 40 years of age, there is a question however of how many big performances Povetkin has left in the tank, pushed all the way by Hunter last time out.
It's a tough fight to call given both men have the power to end the fight at any stage - we give it to Whyte via TKO in the late rounds.
