Whyte v Rivas
Former world heavyweight champ David Haye recently likened Colombian Oscas Rivas to Mike Tyson.
He told Sky Sports: "He's not big, he's like Mike Tyson, that's the only thing I can liken him to.
"It's a good thing Dillian Whyte is the goods. It's a good thing Dillian Whyte has the experience at world level and he's as good as he is."
Oh, so he was just referring to his size rather than skills and power.
Whyte v Rivas
So Whyte is looking for his 26th win of his career and comes up against the unbeaten Montreal-based 32-year-old, who hasn't exactly pulled up any trees during his career - actually he's largely fought fighters in ...Canada.
Here's what Whyte said about Rivas:
"I don't overlook anyone. I train hard for everyone. Why would I suddenly overlook Rivas now? The man is dangerous.
"But I've been fighting forever. It's what I do. I don't do a lot of other things well, but I know how to fight.
"The violence is what excites me. I train for it. I love it and I'm ready for it."

We wish him all the best.
