Ben Whittaker has become a widely known boxer worldwide for his flashy style but what does he represent geographically? 'Where is Ben Whittaker from' has become a popular question for search engines as the surging combatant continues to go viral for his in-ring performances.

The 2020 Olympic silver medalist at light heavyweight has shown out individually and has also shown out for England, by proxy, in his combat sports career. Now 8-0 as a pro with five KOs, Whittaker has made it clear through several interviews that he calls West Bromwich home, which is located in West Midlands within the United Kingdom.

Though his time as a professional has been a bit over two years, Whittaker has made a big impact so far and many see him as a generational talent for Europe in the years to come.

Ben Whittaker's upcoming boxing bout

Ben Whittaker will step inside the ring once again in the coming days. He looks to follow up on his last performance, where he captured the IBF international light heavyweight championship.

The 27-year-old will do so against Liam Cameron on Oct. 12. This is a card headlined by Artur Beterbiev against Dmitry Bivol in a main event battle to determine the first undisputed light heavyweight champion in the four-belt era. Meanwhile, Cameron boasts a 23-6 record as a professional pugilist and looks to get back to the win column after a split-decision loss to Lyndon Arthur in June.

Whittaker vs. Cameron will transpire at the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. 'The Surgeon' will return to the country to compete, having also emerged victorious over Petar Nosic on the undercard of Oleksandr Usyk vs. Anthony Joshua II in 2022.

Whittaker will step into the ring for his second 10-round pro bout with his prior fight garnering him a unanimous decision win over 10 rounds to claim the vacant IBF belt.

The United Kingdom native will travel again to a different kingdom here and many are excited to see his slick showboating style on display this Saturday.
