Rising British light heavyweight star Ben Whittaker caught the attention of fight fans on Saturday night during his win over Khalid Graidia.
Featuring on the undercard of Joshua Buatsi vs. Dan Azeez, Whittaker showcased why he is one of this country's most exciting prospects with some flamboyant showboating in the second round of the five round contest.
This was, however, met with criticism from some fans claiming that Whittaker was being disrespectful towards his opponent.
While there were some who did not enjoy Whittaker's exploits in the ring, the Wolverhampton fighter is certainly becoming more popular with his social media accounts experiencing a sharp increase in followers after this past weekend.
Amongst the criticism, Whittaker was given a chance to respond and insists that it is just his fighting style, and not an "act".
"The style that I do is actually just my style. I'm not trying to go viral, I'm not trying to get likes and things like that," Whittaker told Sky Sports.
"Of course it's a compliment but I'm just being me. It's a good response but I've just got to keep level-headed, keep my feet on the ground and make sure I cut no corners.
"I'm just trying to be myself. You only get one career so I'm just trying to have fun while I'm doing it. Everybody's got their own opinion and I'm excited to see where it goes.
"When I do actually box and switch on I do believe there's not many people that can box like me. I've got a really good boxing IQ.
"Sometimes I do get a bit carried away. I maybe had a bit too many Smarties in the changing room. But like I said it's just me enjoying myself, having fun. I just can't wait to show when I'm at the top level my actual real skills."
