BEN WHITTAKER has vowed to “right this wrong” after what happened to Liam Cameron in October.
Their light heavyweight fight on the Artur Beterbiev-Dmitry Bivol undercard made headlines due to the way the fight ended. After five rounds of competition, the fight ended in the sixth when both men fell over the ropes, injuring Whittaker's ankle and neck. The result was a technical draw with the scorecards reading 58-58, 58-57 and 57-58.
The finish left Cameron, 23-6-1 (10 KOs), angry and frustrated, leading the Yorkshireman to criticize and mock Whittaker, 8-0-1 (5 KOs), online. Since their fight on October 12, the 2020 Olympic silver medalist has said nothing until a public workout at the IBA Champions Night this week.
“I couldn't continue, but when I beat him in the next fight, then I'll have a lot to say,” Whittaker commented.
However, a rematch may not be easy. Cameron, who was a free agent, is now promoted by Frank Warren and Queensberry Promotions. While Whittaker is promoted by Boxxer and Ben Shalom. And as we saw during fight week on October 12, Warren and Shalom's relationship isn't the best.
“You never know what he's going to do, with his promotional deal now he might have a different route [in mind]might think, “I don’t need this right now. “, Whittaker said.
“But after that, the way people talk, it’s absolutely right. I just want to fix what's wrong, show how good I am and move on to the next one.
