Background
editDillian Whyte first won the vacant WBC interim heavyweight title when he defeated Óscar Rivas on 20 July 2019, in a bout in which he survived a ninth-round knockdown to claim a unanimous decision victory.[2] He subsequently lost the title when he suffered a brutal knockout loss against Alexander Povetkin on 22 August 2020,[3] before avenging his loss in an immediate rematch against Povetkin on 27 March 2021 to regain his title.[4]
Otto Wallin had suffered his first professional defeat against former unified heavyweight champion Tyson Fury on 14 September 2019,[5] but rebounded with a two-fight win streak coming into the fight against Whyte, having defeated American duo Travis Kauffman and Dominic Breazeale since his sole loss against Fury.[6]
