[@TC8787-yq7og]

People moan about boring fighters who run, then they complain about fighters who want to entertain them, can't win - people just love being miserable at any cost.

[@jordanbamidele7981]

Facts

[@mikegreen8938]

He committs fouls though.

[@damienwhite609]

He's respectful in his words and actions outside the ring. Keep entertaining young drunken master. 🥊

[@slimskully8924]

Facts

[@Ritte13]

What a great entertainer, people should appreciate his talent

[@dingdong-lt9rz]

😂😂what his dancing talent? I don't know about you, but I'm a boxing fan, not a dancing fan . He will get caught very soon he seems to like turning his back on opponents not only is it not aloud, but he is also putting himself at risk by doing it 😂😂 the guy will be out cold very soon .

Showboating nothing. I love it. Boxing needed this guy doing his thing. Keep it up man.

[@sbaby-kg8hn]

Thats his style he has perfected it . He is a nice lad from a good home . Lets go ben .

[@The_Hater_AKA_Truth_Teller]

He's obviously a skilled technical boxer & if he can pass chin/heart checks he will be a real player in the division. Can't say I'm a fan of the excessive showboating against vastly inferior opposition, it's akin to a premier league football club clowning some semi-pro/part time club. I like showboating but only if there's an element of risk involved, if he can do it (obviously not to that extent) at a good level then mostly everyone would respect it.

[@TheCNSR]

Get him in there with Lyndon Arthur immediately and he'll show the world what level he's on. The extra numbers do look nice on his record, but he's ready to deal with proper guys and get belts.

[@rjm0234]

Got my ringside tickets booked. Love your style Ben. Keep doing what you’re doing!

[@markwoodward881]

It's his style. Personally I don't like but he showed in his last fight good boxing skills look forward to him winning a world title 👍💪

[@jimreaper1337]

You don't like flashy natural talent? You prefer your boxing, boring, plain, vanilla

[@markwoodward881]

@jimreaper1337 I don't want to see a guy doing a pirouette , but where did I say I like my boxing boring . Do me a favour and delete your post.

[@thegoat6116]

him vs bivol would go crazy🔥🔥🔥

[@MingxKobe]

Not yet bivol is elite Ben couldn’t showboat on him like that

[@ghsense2626]

Yes he could,h​es that god @minhhoang-fr3fm

[@acoustic-gymnastics]

bivil no ready for this cat : )

[@Jordan1223_]

Put him in with beterbiev he would soon have his hands up haha 😁

[@lukhanyomsindwana6138]

bIVOL Is too experienced its still early for Ben let him get up in the ranks 1st

[@treyakasprings]

Like it or not he an absolute genius….. going all the way to the top

[@tonyb1880]

He’s great and I don’t mind his showboating but if you turn your back during a fight he should be warned or have a point taken, the ref could even stop the fight, so I wouldn’t be spinning around in circles.

[@jimreaper1337]

There's no rule about turning your back, just defend yourself at all times, so why should he be warned by a ref?

[@recodegamesstudio]

@jimreaper1337 because if a fighter turns his back and gets smacked in the back of the head and gets brain damage and the ref didnt warn him, who's going to get the blame? Im a fan of ben btw, but i get why the ref warned him there

[@jimreaper1337]

@@recodegamesstudio yeah but none of that happened, also theres no rule against it... But please cry more

[@user-zi4zi2mv6r]

Beautiful boxing,wishing brother ben all the best for the future,im confident he will get to the top and stay there,dont get it twisted,ben is not a show off,he fights with rythym.

[@michaelashton4454]

I was a naz fan so I don’t mind this kind of stuff, brightens up a boxxer show when the talent on there is dire 😩 let’s see how long he does it for as he moves up the levels be good to see how far he goes

[@ImThaatGuyG]

Protect yourself at all times if he gets clipped that’s on him

[@jimreaper1337]

Exactly, so let him do his thing

[@natmicah183]

Keep going Ben! New Nas of the UK 👏🏾🇬🇧

[@williamjones7640]

Love this guy

[@ajmma499]

the next Prince Naseem 🔥🔥

[@the_deputy2327]

Nah naseem had skill, charisma, arrogance, in that order. This guy has arrogance, arrogance arrogance

[@abbiefoster5787]

Never mind what people say you do what’s best for you good luck for the future some boy 💙💙🥊🥊👑

[@richardsinclair9280]

Hey !!! Ben im richie Sinclair, just keep it up brother, YOU'RE A GREAT GIFT....THANKS BEN ...JAMAICA...

[@chrisdelaplante5515]

One day someone will humble him on the ring like Prince Naseem was.

[@danielholroyd1360]

People are talking he’s doing a good job every credit, personally I love watching him

[@donn-nd3bs]

Natural talent

[@AnthonyNewman-pq3el]

its ok at his level when he steps up and tastes power he can reboot

[@benefx540]

step ben up please , hes soo good , really want to see him against a step up test 🥊

[@jawaidmohammad2100]

Just be yrself if thats how you feel like moving do it keep doing it

[@qizrquacolaban8813]

I'd like to see it work against Bivol or Beterbiev... 🤭 Or the Paul Brothers

[@JoJon536]

Keep doing your thing 💯💥

[@Archdeacon-dq1rm]

Never feel bad about your personality. He is a character and fantastic prosect. People should appreciate this man and enjoy his craft. If he gets found out as he steps up the ranks then its on him but for now he should be enjoyed as a great quirky character in the ring. END

[@user-zi4zi2mv6r]

Inspirational,confident,dedicated,more power to you my brother,british boxing is pretty boring at present,we needed this fresh impetus,long overdue.

[@mattwilson2167]

Everyone who hates him I'm sorry he's actually a very technical boxer and a very good one and I actually really like him 😂😂

[@infinityrhythmix6092]

Mixology is part of the boxing. Ben Whittaker gonna prove to be great so long as he stays disciplined.

[@kmrk4055]

I love watching him fight he's a born entertainer. I hope he goes all the way, I love watching top skills, it's brilliant, long way to go though, I hope he can pull it off.

Ben Whitaker got next!

[@APAMVs]

He showboats, but he has good skill. If you watch his recent fight, he can switch to good boxing, but then can showboat

[@1jackal1]

You can't turn your back on your opponent in the ring..you did a full on pirouette.

[@treyakasprings]

He did tho

[@alanobrien1753]

Agree with TonyB. Turning your back isn't a great idea - & should be an automatic warning - especially when you move up through the levels to the likes of Anthony Yarde or Joshua Buatsi or Beterbiev. We all like entertainment but you didn't ever see Sugar Ray Leonard or Ali being too disrespectful especially that early in their careers.

[@simplyballing1592]

I'm a new fan of this guy

[@brummyboy6858]

Are people still talking about him oh yes so he doing his job

[@mjat133]

Next bout against MC Hammer? 🕺

[@kalimd8393]

Mans got natural confidence. Aint natural to most. Lucky lol.

[@mahdibhaiya]

Absolutely disrespected his opponent, and it was hilarious

[@jonnyhull7860]

Hes not that lets see him step up

[@eightrax]

He's going to sleep soon if he carries on 💤

[@treyakasprings]

You’re already asleep lad

[@jaycruzsemple]

Ok two questions please get it to the man would he first of all go into the UFC maybe try some mixed martial arts and most of all can he fight Jake Paul and knock out Jake Paul once and for all it would be amazing

[@romariowilliams8110]

Mainly brits that have a problem with it

[@scottylace]

I’d love for him to showboat against Beterbiev and get flattened

[@Jordan1223_]

I think he would suddenly lose his style if he felt beterbiev land on him 😂

[@jamesb4562]

the guy is the one piece, i do hope he takes my go as the surgeon of the death(if you know, u know) as his ringwalk

White Beard Pirates tat on his back.

[@user-mt4pr1mn9z]

It's only a matter of time.... someone similar to Mike Tyson gunna knock him out 😂😂

[@treyakasprings]

Keep dreaming

Nope. That's a totally different weight class bruh.

[@DoctorKillamassaLOGS]

We all know why they are jealous of him..its got nothing to do with boxing.

[@bonanojoe6790]

He`ll get brutally stopped when he steps up competition

[@philduttz]

If he is happy to be hated then great because every one hates a piss taking flash harry

[@lfdtravels]

This dude is a cerebral boxing force. I like him style big 📠

[@ryanaromero]

My new favorite boxer, go Ben!

[@robertunsworth2212]

Time to fight someone decent he needs an challenge. All his fights up to now have been pointless. Azeez or Arthur. He looks like he'd beat both.

[@MaxMillion-yv8ib]

Showboat Whittaker won't have time to dance, spin and swirl around the ring once he gets in there with someone who punches back.

[@Jordan1223_]

It’s easy to look great when your knocking over journey men carnt see him doing this to yarde ,smith or buatsi no way would act like that beterbiev once he felt his power

[@luckycharm8581]

Keep away ben from those sell out famous people who sold there soul for richness be warned at your own peril

[@hr3178]

The best part about showboating is when they finally get knocked out.

[@nargisbibi1367]

He needs to self promote.

[@user-pn6sk9vb6n]

Most of these guys he fights they are too predictable and never hit the body, he needs better opposition to judge him correctly. No doubt doubting his ability as you can see, but needs to get in there with the best to get the real test then we will know if it's a real slug fest.

Do it your way Ben, I was thoroughly entertained by Prince Naseem Hamed, and I’m entertained by you. It’s part of your strategy

[@gonzojones8422]

Showboating against a guy who is absolute levels below you don’t impress no one. I’ll rate him when he does it In a world title fight. Other than that I’m not interested

[@lolitapitpong3826]

And he’s been getting tagged by journeymen, definitely overrated
