"For me this was evidence of a man who learnt a lot from his last fight with Povetkin."

British trainer Peter Fury on BBC Radio 5 Live: "I’m very pleased for Dillian. This was his fight to win. He’s got his whole career ahead of him. Povetkin’s at the tail end of his. Whyte’s done what he had to do. For me the right man has won tonight."

Andrew Priestley: Alexander Povetkin didn’t look right from the ring walk through until the referee waved it off. Slow, disoriented and flat-footed throughout, Whyte just had to bide his time in the end. A strange spectacle.

Sho: Love the respect Dillian showed to Povetkin at the end. A real one.

"He answered a lot of questions. He needed to win and he’s done that. He’s come flying out at the start of the fourth round, given himself room and his counter punching was spot on."

Redemption and revenge!

Dillian Whyte has looked up for this from the first second and he knocks out Alexander Povetkin in the fourth round.

The Russian never really looked comfortable and after Whyte hurt him early in the fourth he went in with a flurry towards the end to put him on the floor.

Whyte was confident of getting the job done in the build up and he's now backed up those words with a scintillating performance.

Whyte is the WBC interim world heavyweight champion again.

British trainer Peter Fury on BBC Radio 5 Live: "It's perfect work from Whyte at this stage. He's landing the better shots and controlling it well."

Better start to the round from Alexander Povetkin and this time he has Dillian Whyte stumbling. Whyte recovers, however, connecting a strong right hander to the body and it clearly hurts Povetkin.

I thought that was a closer round. It was a case of picking what you liked. Povetkin was diving in. Dillian showed force behind the jab.

An early jab again has Alexander Povetkin stumbling - he's looked slow and his legs really don't look steady, not a good start.

Povetkin gets in close to try and unsettle Dillian Whyte but the Brit lands a good right hander.

Povetkin improves as the round goes on and finishes aggressively, but he still looks frustrated with himself at the end of the second round.

British trainer Peter Fury on BBC Radio 5 Live: "A pretty much even round. Povetkin seemed to stumble but I don't think he was hurt."

Wow! What a start. Dillian Whyte is up for this and has Alexander Povetkin's legs wobbling with a swing of the right hand inside the first minute.

That gets the crowd going, with Povetkin's nose bloodied. The Russian backs off, opting for a cautious approach to get through the first round.

Ding ding!

The bell rings and the Rumble on the Rock is under way.

Dillian Whyte leans against the ropes and looks out to the crowd before turning back to face Alexander Povetkin.

He puts his hand up in the air as his name is announced, to huge cheers from those in attendance.

Here we go.

Dan Umphray: If Whyte loses tonight it’s effectively career over, surely? World title contender for 3 years to nothing in 2 fights. What a crazy game boxing is.

The last few moments for these two men to rid themselves of doubt. This is no time to be losing energy mentally.
