After his big victory earlier this year, heavyweight contender Oscar Rivas became a very wanted man. Rivas (26-0, 18 KOs) scored a knockout win over highly rated veteran Bryant Jennings back in January in the main event of a Top Rank card from the Turning Stone Casino in New York, and the contest was showcased on ESPN.
Dillian Whyte will face Oscar Rivas for the number one Heavyweight spot in the WBC at The O2 in London on Saturday July 20, live on Sky Sports Box Office. Whyte (25-1 18KOs) holds the number one slot with the WBC and puts that on the line as the hard-hitting ‘Body Snatcher’ continues to blast his path to a World title shot. The Brixton banger put Derek Chisora away in devastating style in his last outing, the pair thrilling the Greenwich crowd in their rematch in December – before icing Del Boy in the 11th round.
