Whittaker took home the silver medal in the light-heavyweight division at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, whilst also winning a gold medal at the 2018 EU Championships in Valladolid, a silver medal at the 2019 European Games in Minsk, and a bronze medal at the 2019 World Championships in Yekaterinburg.

After an extremely successful amateur career, he is now ready to enter the paid ranks under the tutelage of world-class trainer Sugar Hill Steward, and Whittaker is extremely excited about the future ahead.

Whittaker said: “Well they always say save the best ‘till last and here I am, I’m very excited to turn this new chapter in my career! It’s an exciting time for me to showcase my skills! I’m now looking forward to getting into camp, where I can add and develop to my game.  I hope you enjoy the journey because it’s gonna be a crazy one!”

Anthony Joshua said: "Ben is a really special talent with a fantastic amateur pedigree. He has had some tough decisions to make whilst turning professional but now finally he’s here! 

Managed by the best team in the game, 258 Management, I think he is ready to set the world boxing scene on fire. Everyone get ready for a special journey. Ben is the future PPV star."
