Benjamin Whittaker

Benjamin Whittaker is one of the more compelling young fighters out of Britain right now. The West Bromwich light-heavyweight took silver at the Tokyo Olympics before turning pro in 2022 and claiming an IBF International title within a couple of years. His flashy, showboating style divides opinion, but I'm firmly on the entertaining side of that debate. Boxing needs personalities who make people lean forward, and he does. The real test is whether the showmanship holds up against elite resistance. I'll be watching closely to see if the flair survives contact with the division's best.
