Is Willy Hutchinson Open To A Ben Whittaker Revenge Match?


In a light heavyweight showdown, Willy “The Hutch Train” Hutchinson took away Ezra “The Cannon” Taylor’s undefeated record via unanimous decision. A revenge match-up with “The Surgeon” Ben Whittaker could be a fight worth exploring next.

This was easy work for Hutchinson, who boxed beautifully behind the jab and displayed solid defense. He used feints to lure The Cannon in before countering with sharp, fast combinations. He mixed up the attack, transitioning from body to head while switching from orthodox to southpaw, which confused Taylor. In the end, the Scotsman walked away with the WBA and WBO minor titles.

When looking at what’s next for “The Hutch Train,” it could be a domestic-level clash against the top-rated contender, Whittaker. There is already a backstory that can be explored as The Surgeon derailed The Hutch Train with a victory in the amateur circuit.

Furthermore, the fight would add more fuel to the Queensberry vs Matchroom rivalry, as Frank Warren is 10-0 against Matchroom Boxing’s chairman, Eddie Hearn. Fighting under the Queensberry Promotional banner, Hutchinson would have a chance to extend that record and get revenge in the process
