Dillian Whyte could fight a different opponent while he waits to rematch Alexander Povetkin, said promoter Eddie Hearn, who will “reach out” to possible rivals.
Luis Ortiz, Deontay Wilder, Andy Ruiz Jr and Derek Chisora were mentioned as a four-man shortlist of options for Whyte, whose second fight with Povetkin was postponed when the Russian was hospitalised with Covid-19.
“We will be reaching out to other players in the heavyweight division to see if they fancy it,” Hearn told Sky Sports News.
