Re: Ben Whittaker
Only just turned over after watching the Mighty Azzurri bowl over those giants of European Football , Albania.
2 things I see straight away.
1. Whittaker getting closer to his level.
2. Anna chose a shit outfit! Not showing anything off, miserable cow. What’s happened to her?

If I watch a boxing match , I want to be entertained by their Boxing .
And if “fans” are happy to watch him showboat rather than someone getting on with the business of winning the fight, then they’re more into the show than the sport.
The other thing is that he got tagged on the chin plenty in his last fight while he was fucking about. The positive side of that is that it looks like he has a decent chin.
But he doesn’t want to be showing that too much.
Nobody hates anybody. Boxing fans have been using the word "hate" since prehistoric times. "Dislike" is longer and takes longer to type.
In real life, we hate someone who hurts our family. We hate someone who does unspeakable crimes. We hate someone who preys on the weak, old, and helpless.
But nobody hates boxers.
Carry on.

Re: Ben Whittaker
Glad Ben is taking the rematch and really hope he can put on a top performance because he really struggled the last time.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

Re: Ben Whittaker
I was looking forward to see Ben Whittaker on BBC and gain a mainstream audience. However he has signed for Matchroom and behind a pay wall which is a shame. Ben could be huge with BBC.
British Olympic silver medallist Ben Whittaker has signed a long-term deal with Eddie Hearn's Matchroom Boxing.
The 28-year-old won light-heavyweight silver at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics before turning professional in 2022.
He has an unbeaten 9-0-1 record in his professional career, with six of those wins within the distance.
"I think things happen for a reason. I'm at the right stage in my career now to pick the right platform and go for the right fights. So this move just made sense," said Whittaker.
Hearn described Whittaker as a " generational talent" who has "the world at his feet".
"This long-term deal will propel Ben to global superstardom, solidifying his reputation as a household name and steering him towards future world titles. He will be number one," added Hearn.
Whittaker's last match was a second-round stoppage of Liam Cameron in their light-heavyweight rematch in April.
The first bout in October 2024 ended in a controversial draw, when both men fell over the ropes and Whittaker was unable to continue because of an injury.
Whittaker leaves Boxxer having signed with Ben Shalom's promotional company when he turned professional.
