Because I think people just think he\u2019s rolling through people. But the Suarez win was a really good win, especially in that fashion. And this fight against Rivera is not an easy fight. He [Rivera]\u2019s a decent, decent fighter. And I think that whole week, that whole build-up, the ring walk, the swag, everything, it\u2019s going to grab everyone&#8217;s attention. You&#8217;ve got Emiliano Vargas and Ben Whittaker on that card. It\u2019s really like two of the hottest young stars coming through the respective markets. I think it\u2019s going to be a big moment for him. And after this, he\u2019ll be back around October time, headlining in Birmingham.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cI think one thing that people aren\u2019t necessarily absorbing is how good Ben Whittaker is and how much&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":680209,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[447],"tags":[100087,249790,703,711,710,49,48,82],"class_list":["post-680208","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-ben-whittaker","tag-ben-whittaker-vs-zak-chelli","tag-boxing","tag-boxing-news","tag-boxingscene","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/680208","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=680208"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/680208\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/680209"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=680208"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=680208"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=680208"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
