The incident took place at King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh.
Ben Whittakerâs fight with Liam Cameron ended in bizarre fashion when both men tumbled over the ropes and out of the ring.
Whittaker could not continue and was fortunate to escape with a draw in a fight that he looked like he was fading badly in.
Now itâs emerged that the former Olympic Silver medalist was involved in an unsavoury incident with a fight fan that ended with the boxer smashing his phone according to the Sun.
A witness to the incident told the Sun: âI spotted Ben Whittaker coming through security and then a fan who had a boxing T-shirt on went up with his phone and went to take a photo.
âBen said âDonât take no photos of meâ and snatched the phone out of his hand and smashed it straight on the floor.
âBen stepped towards him, looked like he was gonna punch him and some of Benâs team jumped in between them and it got really heated â they were shouting at each other.
âBen said he would pay for the phone and they both were made to write down their details⌠and they were allowed to go on the flight.â
The Sun reached out to Whittaker and he gave a statement to them.
He said: âThis was a really unfortunate event and Iâm grateful to the gentleman that he sat down to talk about it straight afterwards and accepted my apology.
âUnfortunately I canât comment further on the alleged video recording as I have not seen it.
âIn any case, we are in touch about replacing his phone and coming along to a future event as our guest.â
