Photos: Alexander Povetkin-Dillian Whyte card

Alexander Povetkin pulled off one of the stunners of the year, stopping Dillian Whyte with a single left upper cut 30 seconds into the fifth round to win the WBC “interim” heavyweight title Saturday in Brentwood, England.

Povetkin (36-2-1, 25 KOs) went down twice himself in the fourth round, when Whyte (27-2, 18 KOs) seemed to be in control of the fight.

Promoter Eddie Hearn said Whyte has the option of exercising a rematch clause in the contract and apparently plans to do so.

Also on the Fight Camp card, undisputed lightweight titleholder Katie Taylor (16-0, 6 KOs) defeated rival Delfine Persoon (44-3, 18 KOs) by a decisive unanimous decision in their rematch. Taylor won a disputed decision last year.

And in other fights, welterweight prospect Chris Kongo (12-0, 7 KOs) stopped Luther Clay (13-2, 5 KOs) at 2:44 of the ninth round of a scheduled 10-round bout; Jack Cullen (18-2-1, 9 KOs) and Zak Chelli (7-1-1, 3 KOs) fought to a split draw in a 10-round super middleweight fight; and heavyweight Alen Babic (4-0, 4 KOs) knocked out Shawndell Terell Winters (13-4, 12 KOs) at 2:20 of the second round of a scheduled eight-round bout.
