Trainer Xavier Miller has overseen Whyte’s preparations for Saturday’s showdown with Povetkin, live on Sky Sports Box Office, with Katie Taylor-Delfine Persoon 2 on the same bill.
Whyte has confirmed that Coldwell will also be joining Miller in the corner at the finale of ‘Fight Camp’.
“Dave is someone I’ve known a long time,” Whyte told Sky Sports. “He’s experienced with heavyweights, was in David Haye’s corner back in the day, and has trained Tony Bellew. He knows how to handle a big guy like Povetkin.
“Dave can offer secondary advice, or perhaps see something that I have missed.”
Sky Sports expert Coldwell has welcomed the opportunity to offer support to Miller on a hugely important night for Whyte.
“It’s just to be a second pair of eyes, if needed,” Coldwell told Sky Sports. “I’m there to just help his coach and keep things running smoothly, and if I spot something, then I’ll give my opinion to him, and he’ll take it on from there.
“First and foremost, I’m a boxing fan, so I’m a fan of Dillian Whyte. I’ve always got on with him. Around the shows for years, we’ve always had a bit of a laugh.
“It’s great to be involved in another massive night and I love working on these huge events. I’m quite experienced at that sort of stuff and it’s exciting.”
