BIRMINGHAM WEIGH-IN RESULTS AND FIGHT NIGHT RUNNING ORDER CONFIRMED AS BEN WHITTAKER PREPARES FOR MATCHROOM DEBUT

PhilBoxing.com





Ben Whittaker says he is ready to put on a clinic in Birmingham on Saturday night after weighing-in for his Matchroom Boxing debut against Benjamin Gavazi – live worldwide on the Global Home of Boxing, DAZN.

’The Surgeon’ Whittaker was comfortably inside the 175lb limit as he prepares to challenge for the vacant WBC Silver Light-Heavyweight Championship at The NEC.

Speaking on stage, Team GB Olympic hero Whittaker said: “I’m looking good, aren’t I? Trust me, it’s hard to look this good. But I have worked hard over in Irelandand I'm feeling good. We know this time was going to come with me coming over to Matchroom. Now, it’s time to put on a show.

“It’s good energy [from Benjamin Gavazi] – and it’s the energy you need. He’s here and he’s ready to fight. He’s not an idiot but I’m going to tunr up and show why I am the Surgeon. I’m a perfectionist – I am going to break him down.

"Make sure you tune in. As the man from DAZN said yesterday, get on that Black Friday discount and watch my fight."

Head to DAZN to find out more about its exclusive Black Friday offer to new subscribers – subscribe now to watch Whittaker tomorrow, plus over 185 fights a year.

In the co-main, Cameron Vuong and Gavin Gwynne are ready to dance again as they exchaged a final, frosty stare-down before their eagerly anticipated rematch.

Former MMA icon ‘Meatball’ Molly McCann looks ahead to her second professional fight when she takes on Ebonie Cotton.

And there’s a Midlands barnstormer incoming with the Midlands Area Middleweight title on the line between Aaron Bowen and Tom Cowling.
