😰 “I got a job at JD Sports, it was Boxing Day, I hid in the toilet & got sacked.”. 🥧 “Then I was a steward at #WWFC, got caught eating Pukka Pies and so I got sacked again.”. Boxer @BenGWhittaker tells us about his unusual journey to winning a silver medal at the #Olympics 🤣

Serious question a lot of people keep asking me how fast will I move etc. My response is:. I’m not getting any younger of course!.I know I’ll move faster than your average but I’ll move within reason!. It’s not a sprint, it’s not a walk it’s a nice brisk jog 😂.

Big Thankyou Simon speaking nothing but facts 🗣 . Some people just don’t understand!.
This guy is a winner and has every right to be choked with a silver . He came for gold . People who didn’t like his reaction are snowflakes …. Yes there is an Olympic spirit . Eddie the eagle had it . Give me a winner everyday.
