Ben Whittaker and Liam Cameron are set to renew hostilities in one of boxing’s most hotly anticipated rematches on Easter Sunday, April 20th at bp pulse LIVE in Birmingham, presented by BOXXER.
Their epic bank holiday weekend showdown will headline a huge card in the Midlands that also features the return of Olympic bronze medallist Frazer Clarke versus Ebaneezer Tetteh, a mouth-watering super welterweight clash between Lee Cutler and Sam Eggington, and former European Champion Tyler Denny back in action against ‘The Soldier’ Elvis Ahorgah.
In one of the most talked about moments of 2024, Whittaker and Cameron’s first fight ended in dramatic fashion with both men toppling over the ropes and outside the ring during the fifth-round of their light heavyweight clash. With Whittaker unable to continue, the fight went to the judges' scorecards resulting in split draw with two of the judges scoring the bout 58-57 either way and one judge scoring the fight even.
Turning professional under the BOXXER banner after claiming a silver medal at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, Wolverhampton’s Whittaker has established himself as one of the stand out talents in world boxing, amassing millions of followers worldwide with his unique style and flamboyant showboating.
Cameron, also a decorated amateur having won multiple national titles, impressed against former IBO champion Lyndon Arthur last year to help set up a Riyadh Season showdown with Whittaker. The Sheffield boxer, who has been outspoken since the first fight, will not want to leave anything to chance as he looks to catapult his career forward by handing Whittaker his first defeat.
