Ben Whittaker takes on Benjamin Gavazi this Saturday hoping to make a statement on his Matchroom Boxing debut.

Whittaker, who has held the IBF international light heavyweight championship since June last year, takes to Birmingham to face his German opponent, who comes into this contest in hot form.

Gavazi is on a 19-fight win streak, but Whittaker is unbeaten in his professional career, making amends for an initial draw against Liam Cameron by stopping him in their rematch earlier this year.

Now, Whittaker, the 2020 Olympic silver medallist, takes Gavazi for the vacant WBC Silver light heavyweight belt.

In what will be his first fight signed to Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom promotion, the Wolverhampton-born 28-year-old will be out to make a statement.
