Olympic boxer Ben Whittaker intends to make an example of Ezra Arenyeka on June 15, silencing the challenger who boldly confronted him during a press conference for his previous fight. Whittaker aims to maintain his unblemished professional record as he faces Arenyeka on the undercard of Chris Billam-Smith’s cruiserweight world title defense against Richard Riakporhe at Selhurst Park, live on Sky Sports.
Ezra Arenyeka has set his sights on a June fight against rising British boxing star Ben Whittaker, vowing to become “the mystery man who upset” the undefeated light-heavyweight. Arenyeka made his intention known during a pre-fight press conference in March ahead of Whittaker’s victory over Leon Willings, where he laid down a challenge to the Olympic silver medallist. Whittaker has gained attention for his in-ring showmanship and tricks, which have earned him an impressive 7-0 start to his professional career. Arenyeka is the latest to join the growing list of potential opponents keen to face the rising star.
