Whittaker, known for his dynamic boxing style and flamboyant ring entrances, has amassed seven wins, five by knockout out of his total fights. His performances have been theatrical but received mixed reactions, highlighting a polarizing yet promising career. One key bout included a much-talked-about victory over Khalid Graidia that became viral due to Whittaker's taunting in-ring behavior.
Matchroom’s Frank Smith stirred the waters by hinting that Whittaker might be nearing the end of his contract with BOXXER. This sparked interest from Eddie Hearn of Matchroom who expressed a keen desire to bring Whittaker on board, further stirring speculation about an imminent promotional shift for the young boxer.
In response to these speculations, Ben Shalom, a figure central to Boxxer promotions confidently addressed the rumors stating, “It’s as true as everything else he says. It’s ridiculous, we’ve just started. He’s had seven fights now." Shalom praised Whittaker's rapid rise and marketability during a trip to America where Whittaker was recognized on the streets.
