Overview
- Whittaker faces Germany’s Benjamin Gavazi on Saturday, November 29 at the NEC in Birmingham, with the card streaming live on DAZN.
- Reports list Gavazi’s recent form differently, with outlets variously citing a 19-1 record and a long win streak, underscoring uncertainty over his exact ledger.
- After leaving BOXXER, Whittaker signed a long-term deal with Matchroom to secure more activity and better positioning for major belts.
- Matchroom plans include a U.S. showcase early in 2026 and a busier schedule next year, with talk of three to four fights to accelerate his progression.
- Betting markets and many analysts favor a Whittaker stoppage, though trainer Andy Lee stresses focus, and Whittaker’s 2024 draw with Liam Cameron—avenged by a second-round KO in April—still informs the scrutiny around him.
