The reaction garnered a mixed response from the public and fans on social media. Whittaker is trained by SugarHill Steward, the trainer who masterminded Tyson Fury to two TKO victories against Deontay Wilder. Steward is an accomplished trainer, and Whittaker has a decent amateur pedigree. As such, big things are expected of the British prospect.
