Ben Whittaker – Too good or too much? 'THE SURGEON' DISPATCHES OF HIS OPPONENT WITH EASE AS HE DIVIDES OPINION BY SHOWBOATING TO ANOTHER STOPPAGE VICTORY

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by BOXXER (@boxxer)

Light heavyweight prospect, Ben Whittaker was the centre of attention again after going viral on social media for his showboating antics.

‘The Surgeon’ dropped and then stopped Frenchman, Khalid Graidia in round 5 on the undercard of the WBA title final eliminator contest between Dan Azeez and Joshua Buatsi, which Buatsi went on to win via a unanimous points decision.

Questions were raised about the level of opposition when this fight was initially revealed to be taking place, however, UK boxing fans were aware that Graidia is a very tough and durable opponent, aimed to give up and coming boxers a tough test. Despite Graidia’s record of 10 wins and 13 losses, he has given tough tests to the likes of Dan Azeez, Karol Itauma and Ezra Taylor whilst only being stopped by Zach Parker and now Ben Whittaker.

The 26-year-old Whittaker made this contest look comfortable and showed it by what some would call “excessively showboating”. But although the antics may have caught the eye of the fans, he displayed a very skilful performance on Saturday night.

The head movement and hand speed are traits that should be recognisable within Ben by now, but it was showcased again, making him look levels above the opposition that he has been facing as of late.

Boxing fans will understand why Whittaker was matched against this opponent despite him saying he wants the winner of the main event (Azeez vs Buatsi). Having only five fights to his professional record before this bout, BOXXER promotor, Ben Shalom will want his fighter to build his record and give him experience to prepare him for tougher tests in the future, even though it looks obvious that he is dispatching of his opponents without any real difficulty.

Clips of Whittaker’s showboating has gone viral on social media, mostly X (formerly Twitter) where videos have been reaching over 10 million views each. O’Shea Jackson Jr, son of legendary rap icon, Ice Cube, even tweeted the compilation with the caption ‘Ay who is THIS dude?’ whilst the same video has appeared on popular X account with 1.1 million followers, ‘vids that go hard’ where it has hit 13 million views.

However, despite the success that the videos have been getting, boxing fans are still very much divided on their opinion of Ben.

Those in attendance at OVO Wembley arena made it clear that they were enjoying the taunting and showboating, cheering every time it happened and then booing every time the referee tried to stop him.

Boxing & UFC analyst, @elusiveraf summed it up perfectly on X, with a quoted retweet to O’Shea Jackson Jr’s reaction.

“Was very telling how the crowd booed every time the referee told Ben Whittaker off, for showboating. They liked it.

“For all the hatred that comes his way online, those in attendance do want to see him ‘be himself’ & everything that comes with the ‘Ben Whittaker experience’.”

Many spectators took to X to show their displeasure with ‘The Surgeon’s’ performance with one saying,

“Actually cannot stand this guy. Makes a mockery of professional boxing #UnpopularOpinionbutTrue”

Whittaker has responded to those who aren’t his biggest fans in the past by simply saying, “Like me or hate me you’ll tune in!”

And it looks like that is the case. Regardless of people’s opinions, they will watch to either see him win or see him lose, much like YouTuber turned boxer, Jake ‘The Problem Child’ Paul.

It’s evident that those who dislike the man from the West Midlands, think he’s disrespecting his opponents by dancing and in some cases, spinning 360 degrees in the ring. However, in his post-fight interview with talkSPORT Boxing, he wanted to clear up that assumption.

“Yeah, it’s one of those things. I’m not disrespectful at all, I didn’t swear at him, I made the crowd congratulate him. It’s just my style, you know. I frustrated him, brought him on and I hurt him a lot of times.”

When asked about the referee pausing the fight on a number of occasions to try and stop him from showboating, he replied,

“Some of these refs, some of these people, they don’t like it. I toned it down and hurt him (Graidia), got him out of there before he could do anything to me (the referee)”

So, with another opponent easily dispatched with style, what is next for Ben Whittaker? There have already been calls for him to fight the likes of Joshua Buatsi and Anthony Yarde but with Ben Shalom seemingly wanting to build his fighter’s brand to the biggest it possibly can be without too much of a risk of losing, it looks likely that although Whittaker will step up in level, it may still be a while before we see him really tested by someone who poses a real threat.

Until then though, he will continue to bring in thousands, if not millions of views with his antics rarely seen since the days of former featherweight world champion, Prince Naseem Hamed. Those who like to see it will enjoy and look forward to what’s to come whilst those who don’t will simply be tuning in, in hopes that they will get to see the Brit ‘humbled’.

Mikael Lawal vs. Isaac Chamberlain Fight Preview

The O2 Arena in London was due to host a South London derby, but after Dan Azeez was unfortunately ruled out with a back injury suffered in his final training session ahead of fight night, his showdown with Joshua Buatsi had to be canceled. However, the show will go on, with York Hall hosting a long-awaited British cruiserweight title and vacant Commonwealth title showdown between reigning titleholder Mikael Lawal (17-0, 11 KOs) and Isaac Chamberlain (15-2, 8 KOs).

BOXXER, headed by Ben Shalom, is promoting the fight, with Sky Sports televising the card live in the UK, and Peacock holds the rights in the US.

Lawal is making a first defense of his British cruiserweight title, having pulled out of their initially scheduled showdown in May with a dental injury.

Lawal won the title in November 2022, forcing a corner stoppage against David Jamieson after eight rounds.

Chamberlain has only lost to the best in the division. He lost to former WBO champion Lawrence Okolie in a 10-round stinker in February 2018 via unanimous decision and a grueling points defeat to now-WBO champion Chris Billam-Smith in July 2022, in which Chamberlain showed the most admirable courage and heart until the very last bell.

That night against Billam-Smith in Bournemouth, Chamberlain showed everybody he had the minerals—the intangibles you need to accommodate your physical attributes to reach the top.

Speaking to Boxing Social, Lawal sounded ready to go to the trenches with Chamberlain: “We’re both going to put our hearts on the line. I’m excited for it, man. I want to see how far I can push myself. I want to see how far he (Chamberlain) can push himself.”

After the initial postponement of the fight and the hectic last few days to save this card after Buatsi vs. Azeez fell through, Chamberlain is glad to finally be on the verge of settling matters.

Speaking at the final pre-fight press conference, Chamberlain said: “Finally all of this comes to a close on Saturday, and I’ll be crowned the new British and Commonwealth cruiserweight champion.”

The British cruiserweight championship is a prestigious crown, the significance of which should not be allowed to diminish with time. A fight like this, with the potential to be one of the year’s most explosive fights, is befitting of such a title fight. However, there is more on the line for these two men: relevance and pride. Chris Billam-Smith is a cruiserweight world champion residing on British shores, which means a world title shot for the victor is plausible. Even if the winner does not face Billam-Smith next, the British cruiserweight scene is thriving. Okolie, Richard Riakporhe, Jack Massey, and Vidal Riley are other lucrative domestic options for the winner. It is rare for the cruiserweight division to be in such a good state on British shores.

Nevertheless, Lawal and Chamberlain cannot afford to think that far ahead right now. Will Lawal lose his “0”? If Chamberlain loses again, where does he go from here? Will the 29-year-old have to resign to being the gatekeeper of the 200-pound division? We’ll have to tune in to find out.

Eddie Hearn: „ Ich finde die Verletzungsverschiebung von Joshua Buatsi gegen Dan Azeez "sehr seltsam".

Eddie Hearn und Joshua Buatsi. Eddie Hearn hatte schon im Vorfeld der Veranstaltung – lange vor der (angeblichen) Verletzung von Don Azeez – gesagt, dass er nicht glaubt, dass der Kampf zwischen Azeez vs. Buatsi stattfinden wird. Eddie Hearn sagte gegenüber ‚talkSPORT‘, dass er die Verschiebung des Kampfes zwischen Joshua Buatsi gegen Dan Azeez aufgrund einer Verletzung, als “sehr seltsam”…

Day 12: Monochrome character but in colour!!

This took a few days to finish this including colouring it. I also decided to draw these guys again since I was inspired by this Instagram post that I found and so I drew them in two pages.

At first I was going full on colour pencils but since the paper I used didnt properly colour well, I had to mix in with the markers. I’m also proud with the way I colour Boxxer’s skin tone. It’s been a long while I tried to colour in darker skin tone and I’m proud with the skintone I got for Boxxer when using colour pencils.

Separate pages of them under the cut!!
