“I think one thing that people aren’t necessarily absorbing is how good Ben Whittaker is and how much he’s improving. Because I think people just think he’s rolling through people. But the Suarez win was a really good win, especially in that fashion. And this fight against Rivera is not an easy fight. He [Rivera]’s a decent, decent fighter. And I think that whole week, that whole build-up, the ring walk, the swag, everything, it’s going to grab everyone’s attention. You’ve got Emiliano Vargas and Ben Whittaker on that card. It’s really like two of the hottest young stars coming through the respective markets. I think it’s going to be a big moment for him. And after this, he’ll be back around October time, headlining in Birmingham.”
Ben Whittaker vs. Zak Chelli ruled out… for now
