Ben Whittaker admits Sugarhill steward is like a father to him as he is likened to former boxer
After capturing the hearts of the British public on his way to the final of the Tokyo 2020 Olympics in the light heavyweight division, Whittaker was beaten at the last hurdle.
“[Steward] is a great mentor,” Whittaker told talkSPORT. “He’s not only a coach he’s like a father figure, because at the moment my dad still works two jobs so he can’t be there and go everywhere with me. He likes to stay light on his feet and use his speed to such an extent that when he was a child his mother wanted him to be a dancer.
