Whittaker extended his perfect record to 7-0 with a points victory over the gritty Willings. Guiding Willings back to the ropes, the “Surgeon” sent a left hook carving into his body and fired the same shot to the head. Willings went down to a knee but popped back up, showing his toughness.
Ben Whittaker The Ultimate Showman
Ben Whittaker, billed as the “master of the drunken style,” resisted convention. He swayed from side to side right in front of Willings, mid-fight turning to Willings’ corner to tell off his trainer. But he didn’t neglect the offensive work. Blood began to drip from a cut over Willings’ right eye.
Ben Whittaker’s showboating wasn’t just for fun. It was calculated—a way to distract and demoralize his opponent. As Willings sucked in air, Whittaker sensed him weakening and ground forward behind solid body shots. Willings didn’t lose heart and continued to launch blows, obliging Whittaker to go the distance.
Whittaker’s victory wasn’t just about points; it was about leaving a mark. His unique style, dancing footwork, and relentless spirit make him a fan favorite. Whittaker may be the ultimate showman, but he started out with destructive intent. Love it or hate it, he’s here to stay.
