Power move in Matchroom

Herne stated that this is “the greatest signature to make it in boxing today.” He adds that Ben is seen as possible “The talent of generations.”

Close the Bivol & Berbiev window

Whitker (9-0-1, 6 KOS) comes in time, where the current heavy weights, Dmitry Bivol and Artur Berbiev come close to age. Who knows how long before they retire?

Whitaker, 28, has been working with Boxxer since he entered the ranks of professionals in 2022. Some fans feel he wasted his talent throughout this time by staying with them instead of switching with Hern directly from the ranks of professionals.

Herne will discuss the signature of Whitaker at the press conference in London on October 17, 2025.

Whittaker #9 WBC, 11 WBA and 13 IBF are ranked in light weight. He won the knockout in the second round against Liam Cameron in the return match on April 20, 2025.

In their first battle on October 12, 2024, in Riyadh, it ended with a strange technical draw in the sixth round when Whitch fell from the ring and suffered from a stranger injury. Some boxing fans believe he did this intentionally to escape the battle because he was going badly for him at the time.

It is called Frank Smith, a game

Frank Smith, CEO of Matchroom, described the signature of Whittaker as “Game Change”. It will be interesting to know if Smith and Hearn can guide him to a world title.

Despite winning a silver medal in the 2020 Olympics, it is still largely experienced as a professional. At the age of twenty -eight, in an era he must be ready to hit the ground, fight the best. They cannot follow the slow approach with Whittaker as they do with other fighters with only nine battles under their belts.

Andy Lee Whitaker, who sees this as a “new beginning” coach.
