Dillian Whyte’s<\/strong> must-win rematch with Russia’s\u00a0Alexander Povetkin <\/strong>is just over a week away, and to commemorate the blockbuster bout, the Gibraltar government has commissioned a special \u00a32 coin featuring the Heavyweight rivals.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The two Heavyweights are the only boxers to feature on any sterling currency \u2014 and Jamaica-born Whyte (27-2,18 KOs) is the first black person to receive the honour\u00a0\u2014 marking an unmissable clash that will be shown live on Sky Sports Box Office<\/strong> in the UK\u00a0on\u00a0DAZN<\/strong>\u00a0in all other markets excluding the UK and Ireland.<\/p>\n

BRIXTON BOYS: Headmaster Gary Phillips, and Whyte’s former Math’s teacher, Isaac Awuley talk to Dillian.<\/p><\/div>\n

Whyte was unable to leave his Portugal camp to attend the striking of the first coin, but ‘The Body Snatcher’s’ former head teacher Gary Phillips and a handful of pupils from his old school, Lilian Baylis in South London, did attend the striking of the first coin at Tower Mint yesterday.<\/p>\n

“It is a great honour for someone like me to go down in history as the first boxer, and first black man, to feature on sterling currency,” said Whyte<\/strong>. “I can’t believe that someone that comes from where I come from and has been through what I’ve been through can be honoured in this way.<\/p>\n

“There’s a lot of black people that have done much bigger things than me, so it’s a really special occasion for me and my family. This is why we should never give up on children that come from disadvantaged and troubled backgrounds. Kids that are difficult and misunderstood at school can always turn out to do big things in their lives.” – DW<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

HELLO: Dillian Whyte calls in from his training in Portugal to the Tower Mint in London.<\/p><\/div>\n

“I’d like to thank my former headmaster\u00a0Gary Phillips and my old maths teacher Isaac Awuley for all of the hard work that they put into me at school. I wish I’d listened to them more! The school is doing really well these days but back then that wasn’t the case, but they did a great job of supporting us all. I can’t thank them enough, they’ve played a bigger part in my life than they think.<\/p>\n

“I’m going to win this rematch with Povetkin on March 27 in style and bring my belts back to\u00a0Lilian Baylis to show all of the pupils.”<\/p>\n
