Ben Whittaker arrives at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center in bespoke Montirex gear, co-designed with the brand, as he steps into the spotlight as a rising British boxing talent and proud ambassador.
With all eyes on his U.S. debut this weekend, Whittaker brings flair and intent to the American stage, ready to leave his mark in NYC. Fight night at the Barclays Center on Saturday 27th June sets the scene for Whittaker’s highly-anticipated showdown with Richard Rivera, featured on the undercard of Xander Zayas vs. Jaron “Boots” Ennis—a platform befitting his growing profile and ambassadorial role with Montirex.
The Liverpool-based sportswear label continues its push into elite combat sport, carving out a space at the intersection of performance and style. For Whittaker’s debut, he will also be wearing a custom in-ring outfit from Montirex, designed to support performance while celebrating the journey that has brought him to this moment. Combined with that performance-led drive, these tailored outfits fuse Montirex’s hallmark technical innovation—advanced fabrics and ergonomic design—with Whittaker’s personality and close partnership with the brand.
Known for his dynamic, showboating style in the ring, drawing comparisons to the likes of Tyson Fury, Prince Naseem, Pernell Whitaker, Roy Jones Jr. and others who have captivated the boxing world, Ben Whittaker is charting a similarly meteoric rise to the greats he is often associated with.
Whittaker’s bouts are compelling for one reason or another, most notably his thrilling style. In recent fights, he has begun to silence questions around the limits of his dynamism, steadily stepping up the level of opposition as he progresses. He is currently on a run of three straight, no-nonsense knockouts—dominating Liam Cameron in their rematch, dispatching both Benjamin Gavazi and Braian Nahuel Suárez in the first round, and returning to the ring just months later to maintain that momentum. A viral moment from his 2024 fight with Khalid Graidia at Wembley further captured the attention of the boxing world, with all eyes in the sport continuing to track his rise.
“Ben represents everything we look for in an athlete: talent, mindset and authenticity,” says Danny Yuen, director and co-founder of Montirex. “This is a huge moment in his career, and we’re proud to support him with looks that reflect both who he is and the stage he’s stepping onto.”
