Robert Whittaker Says Even a Fully Fit Petr Yan ‘Has No Answer’ for The New-Level Merab

Ahead of their bantamweight title fight this weekend, Whittaker said Yan (19-5) would still struggle against the champion (21-4), even at full health. He referenced Yan’s claim that he was only “50%” in their first fight, but argued Merab has surged ahead. “Even if Petr was at 50%, I think Merab has just leveled up to 150%,” Whittaker said.
