Good for him. Naz was a World champion at 21, one of the hardest punching featherweights of all time. Wishing Whittaker all the best and a successful career.
He fought C-grade fighters, only 2 decent wins on his resume are Wayne McCullough and Kevin Kelley, he bulldozed journeyman and got found out when he eventually fought an elite name. Exciting to watch but vastly overrated, Whittaker has already proven himself to be a much better amateur, so let's see how far he can go as a pro.
Given that Ben is open that he has ADHD I think you can appreciate that he channels his additional focus, energy and anxiety in a positive way, it comes out in the form of showmanship, don’t change.
Ben is cocky on the outside but he's mellow underneath. Nas is cocky inside and out. Ben's grown on me ever since he started respecting his opponents after humiliating them; that's OK and he is just so amusing to watch.
I think Ben whittaker is a class act, its not really a act, it's Ben being himself, Alot of people have a fear to be their self but when Ben fights it is him, its not a mask, He will one day become a world champion, Don't get me wrong people with mental health do mask, I mask, I suffer from bipolar and it is debilitating and I can be myself but it depends who I am around, its a slow progress but when I feel comfortable I am absolutely a top guy, I am genuinely a kind thoughtful man but I have to fight with the moods and the highs and the lows, we have good hearts and all we want is world peace and everyone to be happy and for all people to just have fun in this world because at the end of the day we are all living in the same world and let's just have fun, this reality as it is now with all wars going on and crazy men that rule countries we just don't need people like that, keep up the brilliant fighting Ben just keep being you. Positive vibes only.
Seen a few comments on here about how he disrespects opponents? He's pretty level-headed and humble in interviews and pressers. As for in the ring, it's just his style, and I, for one, love it. Im sure it'll change as his opponents improve in class. But i hope not....
I watched him in the Olympic games, he wasnt as flash as he is in the pro ranks, perhaps its a conscious decision to act up, gain a fanbase, an all that, but hes super talented
Watch the full interview with Naz he’s not hating on him but just says that he should be getting the finish at this level, but shows him respect aswell. Talksport trying to stir things up.
Jeez, I like Whittaker, especially the showboating, he is good, but he is 26 years old, & he has ONLY had 7 fights, he needs to be much, much, busier, or his career is going to be over before he realises, i dont think that he is World class, because to much time has passed, & he needs to move through the ranks quickly, time is not on his side, he has got 6 years to make it happen, because it won happen after the age of 32, get busy Benn.
Naz didn't say anything negative in the original interview. You're trying to take things out of context and make things into what they're not and stir things between naz and Benue Whitaker. Naz is someone that he's always looked up to. It's quite sad that you did this to Ben Whittaker and put him on the spot like this. Naz wasn't dissing him at all.
Whatever you do on the world stage, not just boxing. You are damned if you do, and damned if you don't. As long as people are talking about you, whether good or bad, you are doing something right, if money is what you want. Look at Tyson Fury, he says daft thing, he has his haters and critics, but he has made more money than all of them. His great great grandkids will all be born wealthy, even if Tysons own kids dont go out ahd earn a wealthy living. In this day and age, and the way people can express their oppinions through social media, you have to have a thick skin if you are even slightly famous. Good luck to this kid, he seems like a good lad, even though his show-boating is a little annoying. It will get people watching his fights, some, because they want to see him get knocked out.
They should do what overhyped dossers fury and wilder did and build a name off the back off each other while ducking everybody else. Just dont do the part in the end where they get exposed by blown up middleweight weights, mma fighter debutants, and 70 year old chinese men etc
The man who blocks punches with his face? 😂 Ben Whittaker blocks punches and actually knows how to box and is an Olympic medalist. How can Naseem even be mentioned in the same sentence when he doesn’t know the very basic fundamentals of boxing lol.
Tbf Ben is extremely talented but he did get caught a few times by an average fighter in his last fight. Naz never got caught until he was in world title fights. Against a better bigger puncher he can't get caught like that n I like Ben. He just needs to be a bit more careful in defence. Just an opinion.
@@kingkongsson1 There’s a huge difference between what Ben’s doing and what Nas did. Ben knows boxing fundamentals and knows how to block punches and did great at the olympics. He chooses to showboat on purpose, which causes him to get caught from time to time so he needs to dial the showboating down when he faces better opponents. As for Naseem, he doesn’t even know how to block punches 😂😂😂 This is ABC boxing, he literally doesn’t know how. So I can’t even mention him in the same sentence as Ben Whitaker, they are worlds apart.
@@MahmoudOscar98 tbh I loved watching naz back in the day, it was brilliant to watch n brought new fans to the sport . As said I like Ben and hope he becomes w.c and have a great pro career, he's very talented . I just didn't think much of his last performance against an area level fighter , probably too much show boating, as u said he needs to tone it down, especially against better boxers who punch much harder ,,,,,We'll see what happens .
His style is 40% Emmanuel Augustus/ 25% Naz (he says he never knew about Naz but his dad bloody did and would have videos! ; ) / 20% Thomas Hearns... and then himself, lol. Also he could have done his 'Adidas tribute' without replicating Naz's stylings on the night - so that's BS too. Also, Naz was *destroying* area level guys (so not sure what point he made about Naz's early career opponents, lol).
U know what I’m sick and tired of media casting criticism at folks that absolutely don’t deserve it.. I luv to watch bens fights he’s exciting because he’s unpredictable.. get over it you muppets and leave a talented boxer to do his own thing.. why is it even when u win in this poxy country there’s always someone who wants to pick holes
#1) There is no such rule that says you can't turn around in a circle... #2) Ben Whittaker's fight commentaries is like a 3 year old trying to explain calculus... #3) Roy Jones, Floyd Mayweather or even Michael 'Venom' Page should be guest commentating in Whittaker's bouts, because they understand Elusive styles of fighting.Ali & Ray Leonard did it...
That's a bit Rich from Naz because if Ben was one of his brothers then he wouldn't have said such a thing, We all know they not one of us Big up my non muslim brother Ben Whittaker.
Ben is a great boxer he has a very good ring iq not sure about the dancing though I watch boxing for knockouts if I wanted to watch dancing I’d go to a strip club
Nas tribute, then when he realised that nas thinks he needs to improve, he slags nas off. Difference is, nas knocked them all out early doors. This guys a joke, hope he improves and becomes humble.
Well technically he’s already been there. The olympics is just as big as professional world champion fights. Why are you so certain that he won’t “last” at that level.
forget naz he was a irrutated fool but ben is much loved and more entertaining i just love his style he fight nothing like naz he was cocky ah irritateding but ben is very entertaining
Naz is 1 of the best ever Ben is knowhere near the comparison is nonsense he’s arrogant and obnoxious he wants get some respect for his opponents and stop all the messing about he’d get far more support
this guy was exposed by an area level fighter... all the showboating was literally done back to him, many moments of the fight bens opponent was showboating on him, ben will be found out massively at high level, he wont be able to do any of his foolishness even at british title level or he will get laid out cold.
Definitely mate I really don’t see the hype, Naz was doing this and sparking people out, especially at the level Whittaker is at. I really can’t see him doing much after a British belt.
Nas was no doubt entertaining and really good for British boxing globally but he never fought anyone worth mentioning apart from Kevin Kelly and then stepped up and got schooled by berrera.

@@TC8787-yq7ogThat didn't age well
Most talented boxers out there right now. People will always try to destroy your legacy or compare you to legends. Future champ
Let Whittaker find his own path. People criticise for the sake of it. He's got a brilliant style. A fighter on my list to watch live. 🥊🥊🥊🥊
Love the way Whittaker fights.
Nas is my favourite boxer of all time but needs to show Ben love because he has a similar and he does it well
More like emanuel augustus. They way he moves is pretty much down to a tee.
Agreed. Was going to say exactly the same…
💯
Great lad Ben Whitaker multi talented hope he goes to the very top
A superbly talented young man. I personally love watching him fight. Let’s get behind him! 🇬🇧
Here here. Don’t ever change Ben Whittaker. I love your style and swag‼️🥊
Very clever fighter,
He got the skills,
The tools,
And he is working on the boxing
I Q.
I think he is going to do big things
Given that Ben is open that he has ADHD I think you can appreciate that he channels his additional focus, energy and anxiety in a positive way, it comes out in the form of showmanship, don’t change.
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
cap
Hs more of an emanuel augustus!
Exactly!!!!! i keep saying this but, idiots would rather choose the more famous person that has a totally different style
@@VisionItTv yh these cauals need educating on these forgotten legends!
@@sayd245 exactly. Clearly Adidas are purposely trying to delete Emmanuel's name from history for sake of marketing
Ben is cocky on the outside but he's mellow underneath. Nas is cocky inside and out. Ben's grown on me ever since he started respecting his opponents after humiliating them; that's OK and he is just so amusing to watch.
It’s like saying Naz was copying Hector Camacho or Paez. Whitaker is his own man.
Dont know about sexy but love watching him box, great style, nice to see someone take a chance and not play it safe
Pure excitement at this stage of his career but after a few more fights we'll see the polished article
Ben is Brilliant for British boxing
Shame he’s gonna run away to USA the second he can.
3:48 is where the video begins!
One of the best boxing Ben 🥊🥊🥊
Keep doing you Ben you have got your own style ❤🙏👍👋👏💪
I LIKE WATCHING BEN YOU GUYS GOT IT GOOD IN UK BOXING 🥊 ITS ALWAYS EASY TO PUT LAD DOWN TRY GOING IN RING 💍
Why does he look like Ross Noble in the thumbnail?
nazs style was influenced by emmanuel augustus a little bit i think. even wore the same leapord shorts
I want to see him fight 🥊 someone at a high level.
Let’s see how he looks then.

Positive vibes only.
He's a good fighter keep supporting good fighters instead of finding fault
Ben v W Hutchinson or Ben v Dan Azeez or Ben v L Arthur
Special skills .....God is great.....

Keep going Ben

What a load of nonsense, Naz should be supporting this excellent young fighter! For the record, Naz copied Eubank’s ring entry!
Why is prince Naz hating on Ben he should be ashamed of himself.Even if Ben is really emulating him he should be proud of that than hating
Watch the full interview with Naz he’s not hating on him but just says that he should be getting the finish at this level, but shows him respect aswell. Talksport trying to stir things up.
You clearly haven’t watched the Nazi interview
With that punching power, you never would be like Naz
Best boxer on the planet 🥊💯
There will only ever be one Nas
Jeez, I like Whittaker, especially the showboating, he is good, but he is 26 years old, & he has ONLY had 7 fights, he needs to be much, much, busier, or his career is going to be over before he realises, i dont think that he is World class, because to much time has passed, & he needs to move through the ranks quickly, time is not on his side, he has got 6 years to make it happen, because it won happen after the age of 32, get busy Benn.

Looks like Andy is Ben Whitiker biggest fan.
Ben is young, talented, sexy and confident. I just hope he doesn't come to Matchroom. Eddie keeps getting our young stars battered ☹
Yeah , unfortunately protecting fighters works
@@Angel4298GI know. Im so glad we've been doing that with AJ 🙂
They should do what overhyped dossers fury and wilder did and build a name off the back off each other while ducking everybody else. Just dont do the part in the end where they get exposed by blown up middleweight weights, mma fighter debutants, and 70 year old chinese men etc
AJ has definately never been protected. Easy to keep your 0 when being protected and not actively trying to unify
Nice burner
Seems like he was dissapointed naseem didnt appeciate the love he was trying to show him
His next opponent is about to make him look elite
Nice guy good luck to you world champ I hope
Naz' career was overrated and I hope Ben Whittaker does not listen to advice from Naz who ultimately under achieved.

I’m the dad and he never watched him only his occasional ring walk
great talent and if he showboats against top level boxers that’s great but mocking journeymen i don’t like.
U know what I’m sick and tired of media casting criticism at folks that absolutely don’t deserve it.. I luv to watch bens fights he’s exciting because he’s unpredictable.. get over it you muppets and leave a talented boxer to do his own thing.. why is it even when u win in this poxy country there’s always someone who wants to pick holes
If you could be as good as naz what’s wrong with that like your style me Ben am a fan anyway great style
#1) There is no such rule that says you can't turn around in a circle...
#2) Ben Whittaker's fight commentaries is like a 3 year old trying to explain calculus...
#3) Roy Jones, Floyd Mayweather or even Michael 'Venom' Page should be guest commentating in Whittaker's bouts, because they understand Elusive styles of fighting.Ali & Ray Leonard did it...
Ben does his thing he has similarities with Naz, you can’t pretend this style either it’s you or it’s not so I would say he is not copying anyone
If naz says youre copying u dont argue, u just admit it n start paying homage to him, imo.
So what
Ben can do whatever he wants
He just enjoying it
Why we always got to create hate and controversy for headlines
He's probably inspired by Prince naseem, but I can't say he's trying to be him.
Ben's the future, Hamed just clinging on by talking rubbish. His day's long gone, leave the future to this generation😎
Why they doing Ben like that. That’s muggy from talksport
Here you go Ben, here's your idol slagging you off, what do you think?
Was never his idol ,, he never watched him box ,, bens idol was Mario kinderlan
Going to be interesting to see him go 12 rounds dancing like that with very little power in either hand.
Hes 7 wins with 5 KOs. What are you basing "very little" power on? Just because he didnt stop the last opponent?
two totally different styles
Ben is after some free munchies 😅
Great entertainmener, but wont know how good he is until he steps up.
Whitaker is a worse liar than he is a boxer!
I adore the way you fight. Such an odd word to use there. Mind you he does support utd, so ya know.
Naz copied Emanuel Agustus, that's not his style.
What on earth are you talking about??? Augustus started his career two years after Naseem Hamed.
Naseem is a massive hater!
That's a bit Rich from Naz because if Ben was one of his brothers then he wouldn't have said such a thing, We all know they not one of us Big up my non muslim brother Ben Whittaker.
Blair cobbs ppl hate his style
Crusty the clown
and never will be or as good
Needs to find a way to get more power in them shots because its looking a little pillow fisty right now.
Bro stop it g. You are deffo trying to be better than Mas and if anything he is one of your inspirations. Don’t let ignorance be your downfall
better boxer . nadeem you've had your day- push off
No hate peoples.. Naz was the man .. until he faught .. apparently old Barrera.. jus saying . Good luck
Bit defensive... Excuse the pun.
Nas copied Aaron Prior the original drunken master in some ways maybe a little inspiration just maybe
Never saw any Aaron Pryor in Nas's style more Hector Camacho.
Ben is a great boxer he has a very good ring iq not sure about the dancing though I watch boxing for knockouts if I wanted to watch dancing I’d go to a strip club
Won't have enough power to mix it at world level. Skills, yes. Power, no.
😂😂😂 Ben has got the power why take someone out inside of the 1st round would perfer to watch a great boxer
@@davidpurves1929Because generally the fighting public want to see KOs so they do 👍 Casual ! 🥊
He will not achieve what Naseem did.
Naseem sound like an arrogant all over himself old man, he need to be reminded by Antonio Barreira to humble him a little bit 🙄
mediocre fighter in my op. don't see him being a household name
Nas tribute, then when he realised that nas thinks he needs to improve, he slags nas off. Difference is, nas knocked them all out early doors. This guys a joke, hope he improves and becomes humble.
Goldstein loves a journey man getting distracted shows who he is as a person
Ben Shittaker wont last at world level
Well technically he’s already been there. The olympics is just as big as professional world champion fights. Why are you so certain that he won’t “last” at that level.

forget naz he was a irrutated fool but ben is much loved and more entertaining i just love his style he fight nothing like naz he was cocky ah irritateding but ben is very entertaining

I disagree, if Whittaker is showboating, then its up to his opponent to stop him from doing that !.
Your a million miles away from being like Naz. 🤦♂️🤷♂️🤷♂️
Yeah cause Naz was a complete original 😂

🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊
Naz the most overrated boxer ever
He will never be at nas hamed's level, especially if he cant beat an area level fighter but is more concerned with trying to showboat. Time to grow up
Nas was no doubt entertaining and really good for British boxing globally but he never fought anyone worth mentioning apart from Kevin Kelly and then stepped up and got schooled by berrera.
Naz beat another 8 fighters that were either former or future world champion on top of the Barrera and Kevin Kelly fights.
Another bum that is going nowhere . Soon as he meets any top boy he's gone 😮
Wit till he actually fights someone decent, won't be dancing then.
Bet u feel good posting that msg , wow
