Ben Whittaker targets a fight with Chris Eubank Jr. as the young British boxing prospect begins to map out his path to a domestic super fight. Whittaker, who is famous for his rather extravagant dancing-like boxing regimen was regarded as a modern version of Prince Naseem Hamed.
At the moment, he has an unbeaten 8-0 record and the young fighter is gradually turning into a legend in the British boxing ring. Liam Cameron is his next opponent on the 12th of October with the fight scheduled to be his fourth fight for the year as he seeks to establish himself as the real contender for this division.
Eubank’s Return to the Ring
The self-styled ‘Special One’ Chris Eubank Jr. is one experienced fighter who has not been in the ring to fight for more than a year now. His last fight was a knockout victory over Liam Smith in a rematch of their previous fight in which Smith had Eubank’s number and stopped him. Nevertheless, there are some concerns about the result of Eubank’s fight suspicious because of Smith’s early injury and making-weight problems. Eubank is also looking to make a comeback and will be fighting on the same card with Ben Whittaker against Kamil Szeremeta.
Potential Hurdles: Division Specific
However, one of the biggest problems in creating a fight between Ben Whittaker and Eubank is that they belong to different weight classes. Eubank is willing to win the fight as he will be defending the International Boxing Federation Middleweight title and the World Boxing Organization International Middleweight title at stake since Eubank fights at middleweight while Whittaker is a light heavyweight.
However, for the fight to happen, one of the fighters would need to move up or down a weight class, or they could agree to a catchweight. Nevertheless, Eubank has in the past shown interest in coming up against Ben Whittaker, who is rapidly becoming a fan favorite.
In a recent interview, Eubank admitted that he hadn’t given much thought to fighting Ben Whittaker but recognized the buzz surrounding him, he stated that;
I genuinely have never thought about that, Eubank insisted. I’ve watched him. Actually, it’s pretty insane how popular he is in terms of social media. He’s getting a lot of attention. I don’t know how many fights he’s had. He hasn’t fought anybody but his style and everything he’s doing is getting him a lot of attention on social media. That’s really what England needs. It’s very rare to have that in the UK. There’s not many fighters who get that attention on social media.
In Conclusion: Probable Ben Whittaker vs. Eubank Fight
Ben Whittaker and Eubank Jr. are both fighters from Britain and a fight between these two will receive lots of attention from boxing lovers in the same region. However, new obstacles arise regarding weight differences such, as the idea of different weight categories, and the fact that Eubank is not exactly an active competitor by any means.
Therefore the possibility of this classic potential match-up is yet to be realized. Both fighters have shown a lot of interest but as with most boxing events, it is the money and the timing that will usually make the decision most of the time.
