Ben Whitaker, the flashy fighter known for his dynamic style, is setting the record straight and vowing revenge after a controversial incident in his recent fight. In an exclusive interview, Whitaker opens up about the injury that affected his performance and clears up the rumors surrounding his fall over the top rope.
Setting the Record Straight
Whitaker has been facing a storm of criticism after his fight, with some speculating that he deliberately threw himself over the top rope to avoid continuing the match. However, in a candid moment with Radio Raheem, Ben vehemently denied these claims.
“I didn’t throw myself over the rope,” Whitaker said, frustrated by the widespread misconception. “It was a weird situation. I was pushed, and my ankle got caught when I landed. It wasn’t intentional, and it’s disappointing that people are quick to judge without knowing the facts.”
The Injury: No Excuses, Just Facts
While many fans and commentators speculated that the injury was an excuse, Whitaker provided the evidence to back up his story. “I went straight to the emergency room. I had an MRI and X-ray done, and it showed the injury. But I’m not one to make a public spectacle out of it,” Whitaker explained. “The people around me saw the scans and the reality of what happened. I’ve been through injuries before, and I know how to fight through them, but this was different.”
Despite the setback, Whitaker remains determined to prove himself. “I know the truth, and when I come back, I’ll show everyone what I’m really capable of.”
The Road to Revenge
For Whitaker, the next step is clear: redemption. He’s looking ahead to a potential rematch with his opponent, Liam C, to make things right. “I think it’s the right thing to do, for myself and for the fans. I need to show everyone the real Ben Whitaker,” he said. “People are doubting me, but I’ll shut them up when I get in that ring.”
The Mental Strength to Move Forward
Throughout the interview, Whitaker emphasized the mental toughness it takes to keep moving forward in the face of adversity. “Boxing is not just about what happens inside the ring; it’s about how you handle everything outside of it too. People forget we’re human. We have feelings, and sometimes we react when pushed too far. But it’s about learning, growing, and coming back stronger,” Whitaker said with conviction.
Looking to the Future
Whitaker remains focused on his long-term goals. While he’s determined to get revenge in the rematch, his ultimate goal is to become a world champion. “I want to win titles, multiple titles. That’s the dream,” he said. “I’m not going to let one setback define me. I’m going to use it as fuel to become better and stronger.”
For Whitaker, this is just the beginning. With a renewed sense of purpose and an unwavering determination, he’s ready to take on whatever comes next, starting with his inevitable rematch and, ultimately, claiming the championship that has always been his goal.
