Ben Whittaker vs Benjamin Gavazi Tips, Latest Fight Odds & Predictions

November 29, 2025 at 11:20 am GMT+0

Ben Whittaker, arguably Britain’s most electric young talent, makes his long-awaited return this weekend — and he’s doing it on home soil in front of a Birmingham crowd that’s been itching to see him back under the lights.

The National Exhibition Centre will be heaving on Saturday night, with a sell-out 10,000 expected in the arena.

Across from him stands Benjamin Gavazi, the next man tasked with trying to solve the Whittaker puzzle.

Ben Whittaker vs Benjamin Gavazi Tips

The pair will lock horns over ten three-minute rounds, for the vacant WBC Silver light-heavyweight title.

It’s Whittaker’s chance to take another step toward world-level waters and Gavazi’s chance to crash the party as Whittaker makes his debut as a Matchroom fighter.

Tip 1: Ben Whittaker By TKO at 8/11 with bet365

The matchup feels tilted Whittaker’s way for a couple of clear reasons. He’s the faster, sharper puncher and he carries the kind of power that punishes any opponent who can’t keep up with his tempo. 

His favourite weapon — that snapping one-two he fires bursts, sometimes three or four times in a row — is going to be a serious problem for Gavazi, who often struggles to read and intercept straight-line attacks.

The speed gap alone could decide the fight, but Gavazi’s style makes the hill even steeper. He’s a flat-footed boxer with limited lateral movement, and he has a habit of getting caught at the end of combinations because his feet and head don’t work quickly enough to take him out of danger. 

Against someone as quick and aggressive as Whittaker, that’s a recipe for sustained damage.

Whittaker’s biggest risk in this one is Whittaker himself. He loves to entertain — hands down, swaggering, showboating — and that tendency opens little windows for counters and stiff jabs.

He gets away with it because he’s an exceptional athlete with excellent head movement, but the danger is always there.

Still, we’re not expecting his in-ring personality to cost him the result here, with an onslaught ending in a TKO as the referee jumps in.

Tip 2: Ben Whittaker Round 5-6 at 9/2 with Paddy Power

After a bit of early resistance from Gavazi, Whittaker’s punches will start making a dent in the challenger. 

His flashy combinations may be for show in the early rounds, but as he starts connecting with more conviction, Gavazi will soon be looking for an out in this fight.

His Matchroom debut surely has to finish in a stoppage, and half way through the contest, giving him a few rounds to show off his skills, looks the best option.
