Ben Whittaker faced Leon Willings in a bout that was part of the undercard for the Fabio Wardley vs Frazer Clarke fight at the O2 Arena in London. Whittaker, known for his showmanship and dubbed “The Surgeon,“ managed to secure a victory over Willings via a points decision, with the referee scoring the fight 78-73 in Whittaker's favor. This win extended Whittaker's professional record to 7-0, with five of those victories by knockout. The fight itself was competitive, with Willings showing significant resilience, especially after being knocked down in the early rounds. Whittaker's performance was marked by his usual flair, including a dramatic entrance and in-ring antics, which included taunting Willings' corner. Despite these theatrics, Whittaker's strategy and skill were evident, as he managed to control much of the fight, although Willings was praised for his toughness and for pushing Whittaker to go the distance. While Whittaker won, the fight might have left some fans questioning the depth of his performance or his choice of tactics against an opponent who proved to be quite durable.
