Ben Whittaker is on the very edge of recognition in arguably boxing’s hardest division, and right now he is two fights away from the light-heavyweight limelight.
The light-heavyweights have been dominated for nearly a decade by the stone-cold duo of Dmitry Bivol and Artur Beterbiev. They have one win each in fights against each other, but they have been untouchable in their other 26 world-title fights. Bivol returns at the end of May, but Beterbiev remains in recess. Still, the division is ferocious.
