George Groves and Dec Taylor are joined by the most talked about boxer in Britain, Ben Whittaker, to discuss the ‘s’ word… showboating.

Whittaker broke the internet after clips of his recent victory over Khalid Graidia went viral.

As well as DMs of support from A-listers, he received a lot of negativity about his style and perceived lack of respect. In this episode he responds to those critics and explains his thought process during those electric moments in the ring.

It is a great listen with one of British boxing’s biggest rising stars with a word smash for the ages. This is a GGBC Hall of Famer.
