Ben Whittaker was fighting Liam Cameron for the International light heavyweight championship and entered the bout with an unblemished 8-0 record before recording a draw
Ben Whittaker was left in a heap on the canvas in bizarre circumstances after he fell over the ropes and was unable to continue against Liam Cameron.
It ended with both men going over the top rope and landing hard on the other side of the canvas. Cameron was able to get up despite being in pain and went back to his corner for the minute break before the sixth. But referee Victor Loughlin judged it to be an ‘accidental injury’ so it went to the scorecards. Whittaker had already left the arena floor in a wheelchair while Cameron stood waiting thinking his hand would be raised.
Whittaker was poor in the fight by his lofty standards and billing. There was none of the usual showboating from the West Midlands man which he has become known for.
