🥊 WHITEHEAD vs PARRY 2 — THE REMATCH 🥊

Ben Whitehead won the unanimous decision last time.

Now it’s 5 rounds—giving Jordan Parry even longer to get his ASS handed to him on a plate. 🍑😂

Last time Parry spent three rounds getting ridden like a donkey… and somehow he’s wandered back into the same stable asking for another go. 🫏

Someone fetch the saddle, carrots and a vet.

Five rounds this time, Jordan.
That’s not a rematch — that’s an extended donkey ride with Ben holding the reins.

🐴 WHITEHEAD vs PARRY 2
Same donkey. Same jockey. Two extra rounds of humiliation.

HEE-HAW… THE JOCKEY’S BACK. 🫏😂

🐕 BEN WHITEHEAD vs JORDAN PARRY II — THE REMATCH 🥊

The first fight already gave us the answer.

BEN WHITEHEAD — UNANIMOUS DECISION.

Not a split.
Not controversial.
Not “could’ve gone either way.”

THREE JUDGES. SAME ANSWER.

But apparently Jordan needs the lesson twice.

So on September 27th, Ben puts the gloves back on and takes him for another walk.

Same dog. Same owner. Shorter lead.

The difference this time? Ben doesn’t need to work Jordan out. He’s already been in there, felt what he’s got and beaten him.

There’s no mystery left.

Jordan knows what’s coming.
He remembers the pressure.
He remembers hearing Ben’s name announced.

And now he gets to live through it all over again.

Except this time there’s an IBKO ENGLISH TITLE on the line — and Ben isn’t interested in leaving it in the judges’ hands.

The first fight was the warning.
The rematch is the punishment.

🥊 BEN WHITEHEAD vs JORDAN PARRY II
🏆 IBKO ENGLISH TITLE
📅 SUNDAY 27TH SEPTEMBER 2026
📍 THE HIDEOUT ARENA, BOLTON

Jordan wanted another chance to change the result.

Be careful digging up the past. Sometimes all you find is the same fu***ng grave.

🐕 COLLAR ON. LEAD SHORT. WALKIES.

🥊 SATURDAY MORNINGS AT VIRTUS… WHERE WEEKENDS COME TO DIE 😂

⏰ 09:30 – GAZ’S CLASS

Gaz arrives with his usual Saturday morning warmth and compassion…

None. Absolutely none. 😂

While normal people are having a lie-in and deciding between bacon or sausage, Gaz is already deciding which exercise will make you see your ancestors first. ☠️😂

Within 15 minutes someone’s blowing out their backside, someone’s staring into the distance questioning their life choices, and one poor soul has gone suspiciously quiet.

Gaz doesn’t care.

Gaz has a timetable to keep. 😂

Expect motivational classics like:

“HANDS UP!”
“MOVE!”
“YOU’RE NOT TIRED!”

You are tired.

Very tired. 😂

Eventually 11:00 arrives. Survivors are released back into society and Gaz returns to wherever he goes to recharge his hatred of happiness. 😂

Then at 12:00 – LISA’S LADIES-ONLY FITNESS & KICKBOXING 🥊💃

The men disappear.
The atmosphere improves.
The average IQ of the building mysteriously rises. 😂

No husbands.
No boyfriends.
No men offering completely unnecessary advice.

Just Lisa, a room full of women and 60 minutes of discovering muscles you didn’t know existed. 😂

So Saturday at Virtus is basically:

☠️ 09:30 – Gaz tries to shorten your life expectancy
💃 12:00 – Lisa gives the ladies an hour away from the reason their life expectancy was shortened in the first place

Family friendly. Technically. 😂🥊

🥊 SPARRING DONE. NOW FOR THE DEBRIEF. 🍺

Hard rounds, plenty learned… then gloves off, sit down together, talk through the session and enjoy an ice-cold Corona. 🍻

No egos. No rushing out the door. Just fighters, coaches and students having a laugh, breaking down the rounds and enjoying being part of the club.

Training hard is important — but so is building a team and a proper gym family.

It’s little things like this that make Virtus different from every other club.

We train together. We push each other. We learn together. And when the work’s done… we have a b**r together. 😂🍺

More than a kickboxing club. This is Virtus. 🥊🔥
