    Ben Whittaker has no issue facing Chris Eubank Jr, and he's extremely confident he would beat the former world title challenger. Whittaker is one of the fastest rising stars in British boxing and he'd welcome a showdown with Eubank Jr despite conceding experience.1 day ago

    What weight would this be at? 168 presumably?

    Doesn't sound very appealing tbh although it could see the Whittaker hype end which would be fun.

    At catch weight but Whitaker could easily fight at 168 cause he`s 6`3, he wouldn`t have enough power though.

    Eunuch jr claimed he’s been walking around at 190lbs. If you see his insta he looks the same all year round.

    I don’t think he’s lying tbh, think he always did walk around that weight.

    I don’t think Groves was much bigger at all, just tactically superior and a bit of dodgy refereeing allowed a hell of a lot of clinching.

    Eunuch has no business at 160, he looks like a fragile corpse at the weight.

    Conor might’ve killed him at 157 and on the eggs

    Whittaker is definitely the better technical boxer out of the two but I think Eubank is a bit too seasoned and has too good of an engine at this stage.

    Be interesting to see how Whittaker gets on with Liam Cameron - potential banana skin that one.

    Where is the evidence of Eubank's stamina in recent years?

    Eubank would get his head boxed off.

    Whitaker doesn`t have the power to keep Eubank off and often gets nailed with his hands down low, Eubank has quicker hands than anyone Whitaker has fought and would be far too big and fast for any of the boxers Whitaker has beat thus far at the much lighter weight class, he`s unproven against someone like Eubank.

    I get your point but Eubank did stop Smith late on in that fight. Carrying power through til the 10th round shows the engine is still there imo

    Hamzah Sheeraz Vs Ben Whittaker at 168 near future if Ben has the balls lol, Hamzah would end the hype train lol

    Hamzah is actually younger than Ben too lol

    Whittaker is so annoying I can’t wait for him to get starched. I don’t want the worst for him career wise but his clowning is cringe especially when it’s against guys he know is no threat.

    Smith is Smith and that was a poor Smith. See if he's got stamina against someone like Big Hamzah who would be putting genuine pressure on him with skill and power.

    With the amount of showboating flashy crap between them we would be better off watching strictly come dancing, better dancing and probably more fighting according to latest scandals

    It will look more like the breakdancing at the Olympics than the boxing.

    Eubank would win this one pretty easy. Probably even before the bell rings. Whittaker far too green and hasn’t had any big fights or went rounds yet.
