Will Ben Whittaker showboat again when he faces Ezra Arenyeka live on Sky Sports on Saturday June 15?
Ben Whittaker will look to silence Ezra Arenyeka and dazzle again when the unbeaten fighters meet at Selhurst Park on Saturday June 15, live on Sky Sports.

Arenyeka exclusively told Sky Sports that British fighter Whittaker has “acted silly in the ring” and “like a kid” with his showboating en route to a 7-0 start to his professional career since winning a silver medal at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

The Nigerian also vowed to knock his opponent out when they collide on the Chris Billam-Smith vs Richard Riakporhe undercard at the home of Crystal Palace Football Club next month.

Arenyeka called Whittaker’s showboating ‘disrespectful’ and believes he can make him look silly in the ring
Arenyeka, who is 12-0 with 10 knockout victories, had previously made a surprise appearance at a press conference ahead of Whittaker’s unanimous decision win over Leon Willings at London’s O2 Arena in March.

The 28-year-old stormed the stage to demand a fight with Whittaker and has now got his wish, on part of an undercard that also includes Brixton’s Isaac Chamberlain challenging Poland’s Michal Cieslak for the European cruiserweight title.
