    When's he out next? Any rumoured fights? The guy is a natural entertainer. Very charismatic.

    Maybe Shalom knows but you never seem to see the guy, funny that for a promoter.

    Charismatic? Are you joking? He’s about as charismatic as a tin of beans. He just comes across as up his own arse, arrogant weirdo. Even James Degale had more charisma than him.

    Tin of beans very humble - not much like Whittaker.

    I agree.

    I swear people just get told someone is charismatic by Adam smith and assume it to be gospel true, being arrogant doesn’t equal charisma, they’re too different things, if you’re arrogant AND charismatic I.e Muhammad Ali then it works great, but if you’re a miserable boring kind of arrogant like Whittaker, then what’s the appeal? The most charismatic person/people from that gb setup are the McCormack twins who are genuinely funny characters, if they go far and they’re promoted right that will come out but they’ve been surprisingly quiet since turning pro, although Pat did just sign with Hearn and that could be massive for Hearn, he needs to promote the **** out of him

    Think his personality is pretty unlikable, I also think he'll look a million dollars, up until he meets a David Avanesyan type..........gets busted up, then fizzles out.......could be wrong though!

    He basically jacked it in against Kzyniak in the amateurs, accepted defeat very early in the fight and just tried not to take as much damage as possible, I don’t think he will like it against that type of style I agree

    He's a shiitty boxer inside the ring in terms of his etiquette and outside the ring he's now shown, he's just as shiitty. Get this clown of our screens.

    By all accounts he smashed a fans phone at the airport for trying to get a pic of him. As if he hasn't had enough bad press after Saturdays showing

    I’ve never watched any of his fights because I hate arrogant showboating ****s but not surprising he behaves like that outside because you have to be a up your own arse rat to do what he does in the ring.

    he vaults out of the ring like Naseem Hamad used to vault into to it.
