Dillian Whyte to withstand Oscar Rivas ahead of heavyweight battle

The Londoner will take on the Colombian at London's 02 Arena and it promises to be an explosive fight in front of a packed crowd.

Whyte will be looking to extend his unbeaten run to 10 fights as he tries to earn a world title shot in 2020.

The 31-year-old has only lost once - and that came at the hands of Anthony Joshua in 2015. 

Rivas, meanwhile, has never lost in his 26 fights and he has promised to stop Whyte.

In their final press conference, Whyte claimed he is sure he will have his hand raised at the end of the bout.

He told Sky Sports: "I don't overlook no-one. I train hard for everyone and the violence of the sport excites me. I train for it. I love that. I'm ready for that. Why would I all of a sudden overlook someone now?

"The man is dangerous, look at him, he's got it all. Like his team says he's got a great team, he trains in Colombia, he trained here, he trained there. He came over, he adapted to the time zone and all this other stuff. Hundreds of amateur fights, and all this other stuff.

"But this doesn't mean nothing, this is going to be a fight, and it's one thing I know how to do - is fight. I've been fighting forever. Anyone that knows me will tell you, that's what I do, I fight. I don't know how to do a lot of other things well, but I know how to fight."
