Braian Suarez has made his intentions clear ahead of his bout with Ben Whittaker, predicting a knockout victory when the two meet at the M&S Bank Arena in Liverpool. The Argentine veteran insists he is not intimidated by Whittaker’s rising profile and plans to impose his own style on the fight.
Suarez, 34, acknowledged Whittaker’s credentials, including his Olympic silver medal and growing reputation, but remains confident in his own abilities. “We know he's a great boxer… but I, too, have got my own game,” he said.
With 20 knockouts from 21 wins, Suarez believes he has the power to end the fight inside the distance. “My record speaks for itself… hopefully it’s going to be another KO from my side,” he said. “[I predict a] Braian Suarez win by knockout.”
Whittaker’s showboating style has drawn attention throughout his career, but Suarez dismissed it as a non-factor. “We know about these aspects… and we’re ready for all scenarios,” he said, emphasizing that his focus remains solely on his own performance rather than the entertainment elements.
Suarez also pointed to Whittaker’s draw with Liam Cameron in 2024 as evidence that the British prospect can be tested under pressure. Still, he acknowledged the challenge ahead: “We know it’s going to be a difficult fight… but nothing’s impossible.”
