Watch: Boxer Headbutts Opponent After Showboating

Boxer Headbutts Opponent After Showboating

Ben Whittaker put on a masterclass last night with some of the most outrageous boxing ability seen by a prospect in recent times.

Indeed, Whitaker of the UK knowns as the “surgeon” could be one of the best prospects in world boxing at the moment.

His showboating and skill evident but copped him a headbutt at one point:

Dear or dear.

Here is some of the Whittaker sill on show in some style:

Unreal. His first ten rounder and passed the test with flying colors to go 8-0-5 KO. The light-heavyweight division could have a new star in Whittaker soon if he keeps developing as he is. The 27-year-old shows tremendous promise as part of boxing’s current boom.

Whittaker’s impressive performance showcased his speed, athleticism, and boxing IQ. It was the Whittaker show this weekend.

He displayed a wide range of offensive and defensive skills, leaving little doubt about his potential to become a world champion. His charisma and showmanship inside and outside the ring have also made him a fan favorite, further boosting his marketability and appeal, crucially as a prize-fighter. He sells tickets.

Following his latest win, several potential opponents have emerged as possible next steps for Whittaker.

One option could be a showdown against a fellow rising prospect, such as Dan Azeez or Joshua Buatsi, in a fight that would generate significant buzz and determine the true pecking order in the light heavyweight division.

Another possibility is a step-up in competition, facing a more established contender to test Whittaker’s mettle and prove he’s ready for the elite level.

Names like Callum Smith or Anthony Yarde could provide a stern test for the young prospect, while also offering a chance for Whittaker to make a statement and fast-track his path to a title shot.

The ultimate goal for Whittaker is undoubtedly a world title, and while he’s still a few fights away from that level, his trajectory suggests that he’s on the right track.

With continued development and smart matchmaking, Whittaker could be challenging for a world title within the next couple of years.

Ben Whittaker’s future in boxing is bright. With his talent, charisma, and growing popularity, he has the potential to become a global superstar and one of the sport’s most dominant champions.

The next few fights will be crucial in determining his path to greatness, but if he continues on his current trajectory, the sky’s the limit for this young British sensation.

Whittaker as part of Boxxer, are both doing great things.

With a bright immediate future no less.
