Charles Whittaker Signs With Goossen Tutor

Whittaker has not lost in five years...

For many of the early years in his career, Charles Whittaker had toiled in journeyman status within the sport. Starting five years ago, Whittaker rededicated himself to the sport and since that time he's gone undefeated laying waste to many of opponents in his homeland of the Cayman Islands.

That streak has paid off as it was announced today that Whittaker had signed a deal with Goosen Tutor promotions.

"Dan Goossen has a proven history of getting fighters opportunities to show what they can do," Whittaker acknowledged. "Over the years my agent Raul Alvarez and I have had trouble getting fights. By signing with Goossen Tutor, this takes a lot of weight off of Raul and me and now all I have to do is focus on training and fighting."

One of the main issues now for Whittaker is if a 35 year old man can still be a force this late into his career. Whittaker believes he can, "I feel great at 35," Whittaker, a 17-year pro who now calls Hollywood, Florida home, insists. "I feel like I'm 20. I live a clean life; I don't drink or smoke. And signing on with a new promoter like Goossen Tutor is very exciting and I am looking forward to good things and a successful relationship."

Whittaker's first bout with Goosen Tutor is said to be announced in the coming weeks.
