WHACK WATCH: The 5 times that Mike Tyson nearly killed his opponent. Whyte vs Rivas –. Whyte met Oscar Rivas in 2019, in what was a bout for the interim WBC heavyweight championship. The winner was to be number one contender for the WBC belt that was, at the time, still held by Wilder. Whyte’s reach was too much for Rivas for most of the bout and he looked comfortable for the majority of the fight.
British heavyweight boxer Dillian Whyte is feeling a bit embittered it would seem. Despite ranking above reigning WBC champion Dentoy Wilder, he keeps getting overlooked for shots at titles. He feels aggrieved. He wants his shot. All he can do is keep putting the wins on the board and that will hopefully get him to where he wants to be. It means that he can ill afford any slip up against Oscar Rivas on the weekend in London.

Whyte has to stay in contention
He feels that he is the most underrated fighter in the heavyweight division, does Whyte. One day we may get to see that. In the WBC he is ranked top, with Deontay Wilder, the undefeated champion, second. But even with that, Whyte has been ignored time and time again to line up in a title fight. It will only be a matter of time given the shakeup that has happened with Andy Ruiz beating Anthony Joshua.
But that’s another matter for another day. Whyte has to beat what is in front of him and at the O2 on Saturday it will be Colombian Oscar Rivas. Dillian Whyte has taken his record to 25-1 now, the only career defeat being against Anthony Joshua for the vacant British heavyweight title back in 2015. The last time that he was in the ring was when he took on Dereck Chisora in a rematch from their 2016 bout.

Vacant WBC Interim heavyweight title
This duel at the O2 is for the WBC interim title in the division. So that means that Whyte should get his shot at something a lot bigger if he picks up the win in this one. A shot at Deontay Wilder perhaps? Surprisingly, bigger fights has not come the way of Whyte because he has held the WBC Silver heavyweight title since 2017 when he beat Robert Helenius for it.
Is Rivas a threat to Whyte?
Odds Whyte Rivas Facebook
The Colombian is no mug at all. What will make him dangerous is his undefeated career record. That is 26 wins from 26 fights. Has he ever stepped into a fight as big as this in his career? No, he hasn’t. The last time he was in action was in mid-January this year when he took on American Bryant Jennings. Rivas secured a knockout in the final round, his 18th career knockout.
Rivas, aka Kaboom, has only fought outside of North America once before and that was he claimed a points victory over Spain’s Gabriel Enguema back in 2017 in France. So there is going to be a pretty partisan crowd against him in London when the spotlight turns on him. As Anthony Joshua found out this year, no-one can take anyone lightly. Interestingly, as an amateur boxer, he beat both Andy Ruiz and Kubrat Pulev.

Odds Whyte Rivas Baseball
This match has the look of going the distance or at least getting close to it doing so. The option of even money on the Brit taking a Points win looks a pretty good fit here* (betting odds taken from bet365 on July 16th, 2019 at 9:35 pm). There is an air of unknown about the Colombian who has some hammer fists. Whyte is likely to have the technical edge here but may have to be in for the long haul.
Heavyweight contenders Dillian Whyte of England and Oscar Rivas of Colombia will fight for the right to potentially face WBC heavyweight champion, Deontay Wilder.

Oscar Rivas is the IBF international heavyweight champion and NABO heavyweight titlist as well. He was a silver medalist at the 2007 Pan-American games. He qualified for the 2008 Olympics by beating current unified heavyweight champion Andy Ruiz and in the opening round of the Olympics, he defeated former heavyweight champion Kubrat Pulev.
The 32-year old Rivas stands 5-10 and has a reach of 76 ½ inches while fighting out of the orthodox style. The native of Colombia has an unbeaten record of 26-0 with 18 knockouts. In his last bout last January 18, 2019, Rivas scored a 12th round stoppage or Bryant Jennings to keep his NABF heavyweight title.
Who Wins?
I’m a little surprised why the boxing betting odds are that wide in Whyte’s favor. That’s because Rivas isn’t a bum. He has more amateur experience than Whyte and beat the likes of Kubrat Pulev and Andy Ruiz at that level. On the other hand, Whyte barely fought as an amateur. At the pro level though, it has been the opposite with Whyte having fought the likes of Joshua and Parker. Rivas also has good stamina for a big guy but Whyte has devastating punching power and I don’t think Rivas’ chin has been tested before. Whyte over-reaches sometimes and gets off-balanced often. Rivas has better defensive technique and instincts but isn’t elite at it. Whyte has an underrated jab and that may be the key in this fight if it goes the distance because Rivas struggled with Bryant Jennings’ jab. Rivas doesn’t hit as hard as AJ and Whyte has a solid chin. Whyte has very good punching power but Rivas has a decent defense. I don’t think this one’s ending prematurely. I’m looking at a fight that goes the distance and Dillan Whyte utilizing his jab to win key rounds. Prediction: Dillian Whyte
Dave Allen vs David Price
Dave Allen is the 6th best heavyweight in the United Kingdom and a former two-time challenger for the Commonwealth heavyweight boxing title. Known a the “White Rhino” for his toughness, Allen also fought for the WBC international heavyweight title in 2016 but lost to Dillian Whyte.
The White Rhino stands 6-3 and has a reach of 78 inches while fighting as an orthodox fighter. The 27-year old from Doncaster in South Yorkshire, England has a record of 17-4-2 with 14 wins by way of knockout. Since losing to Tony Yoka in France, he’s won four in a row, all by stoppage and all within seven rounds.

David Price was one of England’s top heavyweight prospects early this decade but after a series of knockout losses, he’s fallen off the radar. Price was a bronze medalist at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games and he is also a former Engish and Commonwealth heavyweight champion.
The 35-year old Liverpool native stands 6-8 and has a reach of 82 inches while fighting out of the orthodox stance. Price has a record of 24-5-0-1 with 19 knockouts. He’s lost three out of his last six bouts and all of his losses have come via knockout. After losing back-to-back fights for the first time in his career, Price has won two in a row, both ending in a stoppage. His last bout though ended in a disqualification after his opponent bit him.
Who Wins?
This is a very interesting fight between two fighters who aren’t on the world level. Allen is European level at best while Price is well, just British level. Skill-wise, Price is better but Allen is tougher and has the better chin, which is important in a heavyweight bout. Price has the size and reach advantage here but he’s rarely used both to his advantage in his previous bouts. Price is also already 35 years old. That’s not too old in his weight class but not young as well. On the other hand, Allen is 27 and looks like he still has some room to improve, especially on defense. Allen’s poor defense means he’s taken damage but not as much as Price who’s got plenty of mileage and has been knocked out cold a couple of times before. I think this will be fairly competitive in the first four rounds with Price possibly ahead on points. But he has the tendency to gas out after four rounds so I expect Allen to come on after four and put the pressure on Price. I’m picking David Allen to win by late stoppage or by close but clear decision. Prediction: David Allen
