    Thus far the best sum up of Whittaker comes from Whittaker himself..."TikTok seems to like what I'm doing so I'm doing it". Any idea on the nature of his hand injury? Wonder if flailing around off ballerina poses rather than lining up proper clean shots played a part. Oddly enough he's fighting for a minor ibf trinket next.

    I watched a interview where Ben said he does not want to end up like Broner and will focus on boxing. The social media is something boxers have to do these days to raise their profile.

    This is the interview where he trains at a Wolverhampton working mans club. Very interesting interview and he is a sensible and considerate individual.

    Got a little bit heated at the weigh in.

    I've seen some hate for Ben on social media because of his antics.

    I don't know why. I actually like the guy. He's good enough to pull off some of those things, and it's not like he's fouling or anything. Saw one fight where the ref was doing everything possible to stop Ben from expressing himself, mostly within the rules.

    Anyway... no telling just how good he can actually be, as it's still a little early in his career. I wish him well, though.
