Eddie Hearn says he once advised Ben Whittaker not to sign with Matchroom before finally landing the Olympic silver medalist three years later in what he now calls a “dream move.”
Whittaker (10-0, 7 KOs), one of Britain’s brightest light-heavyweight talents, makes his Matchroom debut this Saturday at Birmingham’s BP Pulse Arena against Benjamin Gavazi (19-1, 13 KOs) live on DAZN, after a high-profile switch from Ben Shalom’s Boxxer.
Eddie Hearn tells The Ring that he believes Ben Whittaker can be of the mould of some of British boxing's biggest stars ahead of his fight with Benjamin Gavazi tonight on DAZN ud83dudc40 pic.
