Against an opponent who kept answering, the 29-year-old Olympic silver medalist could no longer rely on speed and clean punches to control the exchanges.

Whittaker won a unanimous decision in Birmingham and secured the IBF mandatory position for Dmitry Bivol. His desperate final round nevertheless raised questions about how much his earlier stoppages had demonstrated.

“The knockout wins of late – are they a tiny bit generous in what they now spell? Maybe he’s not the murderous puncher that the record suggests,” George Groves said on his YouTube channel.
