Robert Whittaker Eyes Light-Heavyweight Shift After ‘Hard’ Cuts: "I’m a Big Guy"

“I want to lock in...into the next fight different,” Whittaker said, weighing around 235, as he eyes a move to 205lbs. “The last couple of cuts have been hard…it’s time for a change.” The ex-middleweight champ has lost back-to-back fights for the first time since 2013, most recently a close SD to Reinier de Ridder on July 26, 2025, in Abu Dhabi.
