As a brit I don’t know why we always have to be so critical about fighters who have a personality and a different style I’m happy the American fan appreciate him more then we do he deserves it he is special
Because brits are reserved and all that bs while Americans are the showboaters. Personally I think its good that he's showing his character its different and it's entertaining
Hope he gets humbled
I think he's very humble he's just a showman. I could be wrong, let's see
why @@369dabbler
There’s nothing wrong with his style, he is just unique, different and actually has excellent fundamentals and boxing ability. To hell with this reserve style of boxing. If these ignorant narrow minded Brits can not stand your show boating then that’s their problem. If you look at the great Naseem Hamed he was a fine example of being a unique, flamboyant boxer that achieved great things in the sport. Do your thing Whittaker and ignore the haters 👍🏾.
I like how the interviewer didn't make it weird instead she comforted him differently not letting him be more emotional...love that very!! Professional
She was absolutely brilliant the way she handled it
She was so professional. Others just want to exploit
Do it for ya Grandma bruva, she'd be so proud of you. Good to see the real side of you tbh. Goes to show that all the people behind the scenes who said you're a good lad seem to be right.
He's a good lad because he cried? Everyone has an nan and it's upsetting doesn't make he less of a prick..
@@thomaskendell8146 You’ve completely missed the point.
@@ninjasrose1653
Cosign 💯
@@thomaskendell8146everyone has a nan but you do f*ck all about your life, don’t compare yourself to Ben Whitaker 😂😂😂
@@thomaskendell8146 that little girl dies in your picture and youd still be a bellend?
Things that make me smile:
one piece
showmen boxers
genuine, humble people
She is a wonderful interviewer. So empathetic and sweet
at the end of the day this guy gives me faith in humanity! so many wrecked mindsets in this day and age, but this guy has a good head on his shoulders, hes a real man, all young fighters should be inspired by this guy!
i never followed a boxer before, im 39 and I think Ben Whittaker is amazing
You right he is so amazing & am even feeling like to be a boxer, but am 26 and am from Africa, how do you think bout that?🤔
@@qezzmilli9512personally I’d get a good coach mate or try go to a gym
Good luck
You would love Emmanuel Agusta. That's where his style came from
I’m 39 as well and I would say that this guy is legit.
Takes a real man to show emotion what a absolute legend
❤ hearts out to you brother real men cry 😢 😭 RIP 🙏 TO YOUR GRANMA BEN WHITTAKER.
What an interview what a guy so humble hope he goes all the way
Ben Whittaker is an inspiration to all the young fighters . Good luck ❤️
In what way exactly?
@@HedgeWalkerAnyway way
@@HedgeWalkerde todas maneiras 😂😂❤❤❤
Definitely he must maintain the clean image he's great.
I like his skills, work ethic.
Big up Ben Whittaker… the man brings his own unique entertaining style! He’s doing wonders future of the LHW division. 🇬🇧🥊
Sure!! Am even feeling like to be a boxer bcuz of him
Maybe for people who aren't boxers, the way he fights might irritate them but everytime I watch him fighting, he's always having fun, the way he's able to express himself is refreshing to watch. I do understand since I always feel like dancing when I'm on great performance.
This sport is draining your mental, might as well having fun while going mad.
what is u on about "this sport is draining ur mental"
@@gasca2033boxing is mentally draining u try going and fighting lol
@@PartyCrasher04 I am already a boxer 7 months nd still going, it’s not “mentally draining” it’s fun it’s a passion. Don’t talk if you don’t box
@@gasca2033 I agree that it’s fun and I do box, this shit is my therapy man. But acting like boxing isn’t stressful sometimes, particularly before a fight is crazy, if you aren’t nervous before a fight you are either fucked in the head or a psychopath most people will agree. Getting in the ring is a different story, you’re supposed to be calm in there and do your best to stay calm but there’s still places where panic can seep in. It’s a good stress reliever but it is not a walk in the park, which is part of why it’s so fun if you ask me, so simple in idea but the skill ceiling is ridiculously high.
@@PartyCrasher04 idk man I’m just too determined to be stressful cuz I really love boxing so I’m just doing my thing, it just pushes me to keep going forward it’s opposite of “mentally draining” for me. It encourages me to keep pushing
THE FUTURE🇬🇧❤️
Respect Ben, people don't see the hustle and sacrifices.. Your grandmother would be immensely proud of you.. Keep shinning and you have a bonafide fan in me and so many others..
Can see by heart he is a very humble man, MAY JESUS CONTINUE TO BLESS HIM!❤

Get behind this man he is a talent. 🇬🇧
Cracking interview. Good to see a different side to him from the showboating, wish him all the success.
I like ben Whittaker hes a genuine dude
Wish him all the success in the world
This dude is fucking epic and a future legend. I even appreciate him more now seeing him emotionally honest. This is exactly what we need to see right now. Keep it up Ben. Don’t lose yourself in negativity and social media my man. Keep doing you.

Jah know I came here a fan of the boxing skills and left as a fan of a very inspirational young man. Bless de yute heart. 🇯🇲 will be watching his journey keenly
It’s when said “you missed your grandmas funeral” that hit heart straight but he tried to played it off

Extremely talented boxer the best boring Britain has to offer for the future, anyone who talks rubbish about his style or showboating has no idea how it feels to be really good at something you are an NPC.
Lovely kid & an incredibly talented boxer. Going all the way PPV star. ♥️ of 🥇
You got us Americans who enjoy watching you fight. If it wasn’t for his showmanship I would have never watched him fight. Now when I see he is fighting I watch 🥊🔥
What a cracking lad hope he goes all the way
Ben, nothing but love for you
I love Ben Whittaker even more after watching him show raw emotion during an interview!
I love Bens style and character, just stay true to yourself
Ben will be a world champion within 2 years
Hes good but i doubt that..look at the names in the division.
@@darrenhems2291i think Beterbiev will finish cleaning the division by beating Bivol and then retires undisputed, then belts get dispersed
He won’t the division is to stacked
Against Bivol or BeterBiev ?!!!!!!
@@abraham7140 Beterbiev is 39 years old, have respect, lol. Yes he is good fighter but i dont understand all those who aim to fight people 10-15years older than them just too gain "easy titles"
Lovely conversation with 2 human beings. She was amazing
Rooting for you Ben, all the way from Houston Tx. May God continue to bless you and your carreer👊🏾👊🏾👊🏾
Super wholesome ❤️💯 keep pushing bro, your grandmother would be proud for sure

"i tried swimming. Started drowning and stuff." 😂
I like this brother, I am entertained everytime he boxes. I love his showboating and his personality he brings to boxing which sometimes gets a bit boring. Nice to get to know a bit more about him as a person.

Well done Ben. Continue to do your thing.
