Overview
- Whittaker said on his MMArcade Podcast that he is open to a boxing move once his UFC tenure ends.
- He pointed to Anderson Silva’s second-round stoppage of Tyron Woodley on the Jake Paul–Anthony Joshua undercard as motivation and joked he might join a future card if the paycheck is right.
- He said crossover bouts appeal because they offer strong purses, help him stay fit, and let him emphasize striking without climbing a traditional boxing ladder.
- He has dropped two straight fights, most recently a split-decision loss to Reinier de Ridder in July, and he does not have his next bout scheduled.
- Earlier reporting indicated he had four UFC bouts left before his last fight, implying three now remain, though that detail is not confirmed in these reports.
