2020 Olympian silver medalist and unbeaten super middleweight Ben Whittaker (6-0, 5 KOs) brings his controversial style to The O2 in London as the latest addition to BOXXER’s Wardley-Clarke clash on Sunday, March 31st on Sky Sports in the UK and Ireland and Peacock in the USA.

Promoter Ben Shalom said: “The reaction to Ben Whittaker’s performance against Khalid Graidia has been incredible. It shows the power of social media. He gained hundreds of thousands of followers overnight and there’s clips of him online with millions and millions of views. We’ve known from day one that we’ve got a superstar on our hands with Ben Whittaker. With his style and personality, we believe he can become the biggest star in world boxing.”
Kid can fight. He does some Emmanuel Augustus type stuff in the ring, which turns some folks off, but others enjoy it.
– Agreed.
– Watched highlights of his last fight against Khalid Graidia and I also so some of the old “Drunken Master” in there…..
“so” = “saw”.
Your only real judge of talent comes when his competition steps up, that video the man just stood there and let him do what he wanted to do without adjusting in any way!!
There is only 1 drunken master and boy his fights were entertaining
I went off him by the way he was in the olympics. He is not a sportsman.
