    Following on from his win over Dereck Chisora Dillian Whyte has been quick to run his mouth about a number of the heavyweight divisions biggest names and recently singled out recent Joshua victim Povetkin who he claims reneged on a promise to fight him he made post KOing some Scouse plumber.

    Calling the Russian a 'coward' the forme5 Olympic gold medallist has now responded to Whyte's ire with the release of a statement you can read below:

    "Why on earth would Whyte call me a coward?

    I personally can't understand. Everything is going according to a plan, I'm not going to tie up with boxing - I'm getting ready for a fight and who will be my rival doesn't matter to me."

    Whyte is such a classless dumbass and he seems to be getting worse. Povetkin will end this idiot and put a halt to it. And he’ll most likely do so brutally. Then Usyk can completely get that ***** out of the main picture. I’m sure Dillan will know who Usyk is by then if Alexander doesn’t scramble his brains to bad.

    Whyte needs to respond about how he's a thug from the street and how he's going to break his face and maybe put together a cardboard coffin. that always works out well!

    Povetkin seems calm and unflappable; I'd hate to see him riled up and ready to smash.

    It is a well measured and sensible response but then again I wouldn't really expect Povetkin to lose his cool with Whyte's amatuer hour thuganomics

    Not sure how passing up a good fight for an even tougher fight against the heavyweight champion of the world gets someone labeled a coward. If the money is there I'm sure Whyte can get some too.

    Whyte is an idiot. Povetkin is a coward because he fought Joshua instead of Whyte but then again Dillian also took more profitable fights instead of poor old man Ortiz.

    What's this rubbish you be Tarkin,
    Perhaps your mouth you should be hushin,
    Before you rouse this fearsome Russian,
    Don't call a fellow pro a coward,
    Especially when they're PED fuel powered,

    Whyte was banned for two years for peds. Unlike Sasha - no ban.

    This I know.

    Of course Dillian, being British, was the victim of a pernicious labelling issue on a harmless over the counter supplement that is regularly added to babies bottles, the national water supply and sprinkled on jaffa cakes and wagon wheels. Indeed you probably ingested some in the last breath you took as another name for this supplement is air. His guilt was a mere technicality but Dillian actively encouraged the authorities to ban him in the hope of sending a positive message to young people and foreign types who probably cheat all the time.

    Whereas Sasha, being Russian and therefore SUSPECT, used a devilish brew made from the tears of frightened orphans, forced at gunpoint to work in Putin's salt mines and then fed nuclear waste contaminated blinis in order to produce communist supermen able to destroy democratic institutions over a thousand miles away by a single punch.

    Nah I can't defend Whyte with a comment like that, that's not right, he should show a little more respect.

    Whyte is like many fighters, can’t listen to too much of what they say as it’s mostly rubbish. Same with the promoters.
