OK, firstly Whittaker is't exactly short of British opponents, if he want them. He can go with Shakan Pitters whiich would be a West Midlands derby & would sell. If he gets past Shakan there are 3 good opponents, Craig Richards, Azeem or Lyndon. Once/if he beats them then he can dip his toes into deep waters. Leets be honest, right now Whittaker wouldn't go 6 rounds with either Yarde or Buatsi, they would murder him. I don't see how he needs the Simpson guy. Simpson should be looking at his own weight.

Normally I'd embrace this, but I just don't think Simpson's got the time to adjust to 175Lb. Nice fight for the future though!
