Whittaker offers ‘big reward’ after home burgled

After his home was burglarized while he was out fighting, British light-heavyweight Ben Whittaker has offered to provide information.

Whittaker completed the stunning first-round stoppage of German President Benjamin Gavazi in Birmingham on Saturday night, but he returned to his home in Wednesbury, West Midlands, to discover it had been ransacked.

What will they do with my IBF belt, exactly? The 28-year-old referenced the IBF International light-heavyweight title belt he won in June 2024 in a video posted on his Instagram account.

“Sport’s highs and lows. Remain there, the house has been burglarized. However, I received a significant, significant reward at Wednesbury. Tell me about these people if you find them.

Whittaker reported that his kitchen’s window had been smashed, with the blinds extending down.

We are looking into a home that was broken into on Sunday at around midnight in Wednesbury, West Midlands Police announced.

Anyone who has information is asked to call 101 and mention crime reference 20/45973/25. Alternatively, call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111. “

Whittaker is a youngweight champion who is advancing to light-heavyweight combat. He recently faced off in his first fight against Matchroom.

He increased his professional run to 10 victories in 11 fights, with Liam Cameron and he falling over the ropes.
