Describe Ben Whittaker in ONE word 🗣👇

[@ninjasrose1653]

Captivating

[@K33f11]

Assured

[@tobybartlett7777]

Brilliant!!! He captivated Me during the Olympics! Just think Matchroom would have been a better fit for Ben! Only My Opinion! 🤔🤷‍♂️

[@Barry___W]

Devisive

[@eatsleepboxingrepeat1296]

Flamboyant.

[@ecw787]

People don't understand, having your hands down makes you more elusive, the slick headmovement is all natural. Now as for the showboating and taunting, people need to understand when you are an athlete and you hear the cheers it motivates you to put on a show. Ben is a natural showman.

[@gummyerin]

Yes a show man ,, a clown

[@sacredneutral7304]

Thanks for that summary kiddo

[@neilpower1671]

Nice guy, phenomenal talent. Look forward to his career

[@steventownley1429]

A star in the making for sure 👍🏻

[@trungfu6464]

I dont care what anyone says. That bonk was one of the funniest things Ive ever seen in boxing.

[@user-cl9jk5xf7s]

The kid will be a world champion

[@nathanbell6899]

Que the well schooled mexican and the incoming knockout. History has a funny feeling of repeating itself

[@mustispustis]

Ben has some legit ink, respect!

[@crypthick]

Really enjoyable interview

[@BanterJDP]

Ben Whittaker needs sack shalom and go with Hearn or warren 💯 he has all the talent and charisma he needs a top level promoter not the wannabe who clearly ain’t in that bracket

[@leroyvassell4395]

True talk Ben. It seems certain people can do and say stuff but nothing is said.....keep boxing your way bro, you are a super talent!

[@paddy4483]

Best journalist in boxing rob tebbut, glad to see you doing interviews

[@mrsupplementsUK]

All his haters have never actually listened to him , i was 1 off them 🙈😬 he will go far

[@patrick1763]

Life is 2 Short Ben ……. You keep being YOU. One life live it win lose or draw. Haters will always hate they’ll get their time should you have any setbacks in or out of the ring. So please on your journey be the showman the entertainer you really are and let’s go collecting BELTS & TITLES 🙏🏽

[@UKboxingfan]

Gifted

[@johnhadfield3180]

Think anyone who takes the time to listen to Ben will think he’s a class act

[@birthing4blokes46]

I think the man is amazing, i would stay up to watch him for sure. Nice bloke for sure.

[@jordyboi3703]

Like to see him fight lyndon arthur next hes more than ready

[@dwainejones4153]

Great shout 🫱🏽‍🫲🏾

[@Ahijah]

Why is everyone leaving sugar hill 😮that’s three fighters….. Ben response seems similar to AJ after leaving Derrick, also nobody has seen sugar with Tyson recently

[@mh-nz7ho]

He’s is entertaining and a good lad

[@EdwinMaldonado-ie6qn]

Keep on entertaining! What people don't understand scares them.

[@BritishMattReacts]

Top fella 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@angusking9881]

Thought he upped his game in his most recent fight. He wasn’t just showboating for the sake of it. He used to to make him miss and make him pay and he gets himself into positions where he can throw with power from crazy angles. It’s one thing showboating when you’re out of range but he showed bravery to do it up close.

[@kevinallen4052]

How good can this lad be?

[@shk790]

Hes a bum..

[@boxingnews__]

He is very, very good.

[@Stevenbutterworth1992]

[@treyakasprings]

Good move getting rid of SH. + he’ll save himself a fortune

[@leonardosamuel94]

Boxxer has Whittaker sleeping in a caravan on fight week.

[@alihughes5516]

Superstar in the making. Marmite character who sells tickets, and happens to be a masterful boxer.

[@karimadam8611]

Maybe Dominic Ingle trainer of Kell Brook or Jim Mcdonnell trainer of James Degale would be trainers for him.....

[@Steve0272.]

His personality dictates how he interacts in the ring , obviously similarities with Naz , flash moves and showboating is quality to watch petsonally didnt like the tap on the head but it is what it is , hes young and eager to showcase his ability , ALL fighters say they want to learn but few rarely evolve much from ther early career , and not rveryine can evolve/ change , Josh taylor couldnt adapt with Ben , Billy joe never learned to focus on strength as that was his main weakness , if he can learn and evolve Ben davison would be a good choice , many trainers in boxing but not many that actually coach beyond the fundamentals

[@flyingfalcon3767]

Can bivol handle the punches to the body? Can he handle the pressure for 12 rounds? This is against a 100% knockout and continuous pressure king. Is bivol better than usyk ? Rethink your opinion as the fight gets closer. Thanks brother

[@vaughnjackson6297]

Technically yes bivol is better than usyk

[@hashim442786]

Bivol would box circles around Ben using just a jab, Artur would ko Ben with just a jab. Another hype job who’ll get exposed soon enough

[@hob0409]

Kids going all the way to the top

[@user-pv8do5qw9h]

Dominic ingle perfect trainer for Ben imo

[@eatsleepboxingrepeat1296]

It’s a shame he’s with the wrong promoter.

[@barkhadmohamedburale1194]

Who is his promoter ?

[@Correction294]

@@barkhadmohamedburale1194 Ben Shalom of Boxxer.

[@barkhadmohamedburale1194]

I have heard nothing but madness about that guy. Also he himself is very young to be promoter (30 years old).

[@SkinnyBenny22-fv3xi]

How Ben a cold boxer but let his barber violate his line up

[@RobertTheBruce-kg5gj]

hope he don't even dream of stepping in there with a monster like Beterbiev

[@sainy375]

Sugar hill dumped him because he is clown. He thinks he is the new Mohammad Ali. Mushroom man going to get a shock when a top level guy ices him its obvious its going to happen just wait.

[@guy.l8147]

It was funny as adam soon shut up after him doing his job was criticised by Ben. Plus andy Clark wore a saudi dress to fit in with the saudis ! Sell out and looked a plank ! 😂

[@JBholmes420]

Didn’t realise he split from sugar. Never rated sugar, he’s living off Emmanuel’s name. Tyson Fury been on the decline with this guy too. This ‘knockouts only’ nonsense is not boxing

[@JJ-pl5cj]

Fury has had one bad night

[@imperialkingdom4821]

Coach can't fight for u...Not always coaches fault

[@david_fitzmaurice]

What are you waffling about? 😂 No one ever rates Fury's trainers. When Ben Davidson was training Fury he was was Boxcercise Ben, when he trains AJ he's the best in the world.

[@EdwinMaldonado-ie6qn]

I've been saying this about Hill for years. Tyson made him popular but Tyson really trains himself. Same thing he did with Ben Davison

[@user-bk7tw7fx5w]

Eubank 2.0

[@reubencooper2608]

Great man keep it up Ben brilliant

[@questionmore4713]

Ben copying Emanuel Augustus style...

[@paulhegarty8380]

No power

[@damiengriffiths8934]

This kid & Hearn are the perfect match.........Some fighters are just with the wrong organisations...

[@JBholmes420]

Ok Eddie

[@HisExcellencyB]

Hearn wouldn't allow him to express himself due to his constant need to be the centre of attention. Great to see the boxers being given the limelight

[@eddiehearn8358]

He is deffo with the wrong promoter

[@JB-td9fz]

Still fancy a ghting garbage nearly 2 years after turning pro. Dreadful, but that's boxxer for you.

[@reubencooper2608]

Love Ben great talent and lovely person

[@user-bh5qk1wj4o]

Dom ingle would be perfect for Ben what a fighter he is now but in my opinion with Dom ingle in his corner he'd be unbeatable as Dom would let him be himself but teach him the rest fact 💯👊🤔

[@jgs1994]

He's trained with joby his whole life that's who made him, every great trainer is only great because of a better fighter he needs to stay with joby is possible

[@reubencooper2608]

Your doing the right things Ben you are the future world champ God bless Jesus love you

[@reubencooper2608]

Ben reminds me of prince naz

[@mrbigdick7918]

Suger is a great trainer. Go back to him
