Gavazi claims to be ready for the biggest fight of his career, while Whittaker is confident he can show the boxing world why he is a special talent.
"Come Saturday, you will see how special I am," Whittaker said. "Pressure is on all walks of life, the pressure comes from myself, I’m a perfectionist. It’s going to be a perfect job Saturday."
With the time for talking done, Whittaker needs to back up his words with a performance to remember inside the ring.

It's no secret Ben Whittaker needs to deliver on Saturday night.
For all the talk he is yet to walk the walk, but a second round stoppage in his rematch win over Liam Cameron seven months proved that he can blow solid opponents away.
This fight with Gavazi will be Whittaker's second with head trainer Andy Lee who will want to get 'The Surgeon' landing plenty of hard shots to get his opponent on the back foot.
Whittaker's superior boxing skills will get him the win in this fight, I expect him to establish his power early on before knocking out Gavazi in the second half of the fight, the perfect result to set up a big 2026.
