Darlaston's Ben Whittaker eyeing the first title of his career

The Darlaston Olympic hero, unbeaten in his first seven pro bouts, will meet Arenyeka at London’s Selhurst Park on June 15 with the WBA gold light-heavyweight belt up for grabs. Arenyeka, who holds an unblemished 12-fight record, made headlines when he gatecrashed a press conference ahead of Whittaker’s fight with Leon Willings last month, publicly calling out the Tokyo 2020 silver medallist.
