After an outstanding amateur career that culminated in winning silver at the Tokyo Olympics, Whittaker has taken the pro game by storm. ‘The Surgeon’ has won all seven of his contests and has drawn admirers – and haters – from around the world courtesy of some eye-catching performances.
Videos of his victory against Khalid Graidia garnered over 58 million views thanks to a combination of his lightning-quick reactions and showboating antics. Some claim he was disrespectful but what is undeniable is his talent inside the squared circle. Now the 27-year-old will aim to show he is main event material when he features on the undercard as Chris Billam-Smith defends his WBO cruiserweight title against the powerful Richard Riakporhe.
While Whittaker is full of confidence, Arenyeka has amassed an impressive record and certainly carries plenty of power. The Nigerian is used to being on the road and has already secured victories in Ghana, the Netherlands and Colombia.
