The home of WBC Silver Light Heavyweight titleholder Ben Whittaker was burglarized during his fight with Benjamin Gavazi in Birmingham on the night of November 30.

“The highs and lows of sport. I come home and my house has been burgled. I’m offering a very big reward — find these people, let me know.

They even took my IBF belt — what are they going to do with it? Message me, DM me for a big reward,” said Whittaker.
