Dillian Whyte is set to head to America for a fight with Andy Ruiz Jr later this year, although Alexander Povetkin is the "frontrunner" to become the Londoner's next opponent. Sky Sports reports that the British heavyweight will be back in action in April or May, with promoter Eddie Hearn tabling an offer for a fight against Ruiz Jr, who suffered a points defeat to Anthony Joshua in their rematch in Saudi Arabia.
