Emotional Ben Whittaker reveals the huge sacrifices he made for boxing | Interview

[@DLooneyBBLs]

As a brit I don’t know why we always have to be so critical about fighters who have a personality and a different style I’m happy the American fan appreciate him more then we do he deserves it he is special

[@kamoboi]

Because brits are reserved and all that bs while Americans are the showboaters. Personally I think its good that he's showing his character its different and it's entertaining

[@369dabbler]

Hope he gets humbled

[@kamoboi]

I think he's very humble he's just a showman. I could be wrong, let's see

[@wickedfreestyle102]

[@AaronP-sy7xr]

There’s nothing wrong with his style, he is just unique, different and actually has excellent fundamentals and boxing ability. To hell with this reserve style of boxing. If these ignorant narrow minded Brits can not stand your show boating then that’s their problem. If you look at the great Naseem Hamed he was a fine example of being a unique, flamboyant boxer that achieved great things in the sport. Do your thing Whittaker and ignore the haters 👍🏾.

Things that make me smile: one piece showmen boxers genuine, humble people

[@1119-w3u]

Ben is nowhere near humble 😂 ... But I still like him though, but when he faces an "emperor" level fighter, he better ease off the ego punches and add some humility to those blows. He has skill no doubt, but hasn't fought anyone on his level yet.

Lovely conversation with 2 human beings. She was amazing

[@ProceedBachi]

Maybe for people who aren't boxers, the way he fights might irritate them but everytime I watch him fighting, he's always having fun, the way he's able to express himself is refreshing to watch. I do understand since I always feel like dancing when I'm on great performance. This sport is draining your mental, might as well having fun while going mad.

[@gasca2033]

@@PartyCrasher04 I am already a boxer 7 months nd still going, it’s not “mentally draining” it’s fun it’s a passion. Don’t talk if you don’t box

[@PartyCrasher04]

@@gasca2033 I agree that it’s fun and I do box, this shit is my therapy man. But acting like boxing isn’t stressful sometimes, particularly before a fight is crazy, if you aren’t nervous before a fight you are either fucked in the head or a psychopath most people will agree. Getting in the ring is a different story, you’re supposed to be calm in there and do your best to stay calm but there’s still places where panic can seep in. It’s a good stress reliever but it is not a walk in the park, which is part of why it’s so fun if you ask me, so simple in idea but the skill ceiling is ridiculously high.

[@gasca2033]
