Ben Whittaker vs. Liam Cameron Rematch Set For April 20
The Ben Whittaker vs. Liam Cameron rematch has been announced for 20 April from the BP Pulse Live, Birmingham.

The fight was declared a split-decision technical draw: 58-57, 57-58, and 58-58. Cameron was disappointed since he was dominating before the incident. Whittaker went to the hospital, while Cameron accused his man of quitting. Now, they will have the chance to settle things in the rematch.Â
“This is an opportunity for me to give the fans a decisive result. There’s no doubt in my mind that this time, there will be no room for controversy. This time, we will finish it on my terms. To all the fans who supported me and even those that have doubted me, this one’s for you. April 20th, I’m home and I’m going to give the people something special,” Ben WhittakerÂ
“I’m pleased to get this fight confirmed. I feel like I was winning the last fight before he tried pretending to be a WWE star and pulled me over the top rope. I really believe I would have stopped him, but that’s in the past now, we’re ready to go on April 20th. I want to thank my manager and my promoters Frank and George Warren for helping to get this rematch over the line. I look forward to getting in there and finishing the job,” Liam Cameron
“There’s been a lot said since the first fight in Riyadh, a lot of questions have been asked. On April 20th, Easter Sunday, we will get the answers. Ben Whittaker vs Liam Cameron is one of the most eagerly anticipated and most talked about fights in British boxing. It’s the fight the fans have been calling for and it’s the fight both fighters have demanded. There was never any doubt from Ben Whittaker, this was the fight he wanted next, and what a fight we have to headline a huge bank holiday weekend show in Birmingham,” Ben Shalom
