Whittaker vs Cameron 2 Fight Results: Whittaker Blasts Out Cameron in 2 (Video)

Over the last two weeks, the build-up added more drama to the already controversial British grudge match. A highly public spat saw Ben Shalom’s BOXXER claim that his company made a mistake as too how many rounds would be in the rematch. Following Cameron obtaining some financial compensation, the contest was changed from 12 to 10 rounds at Whittaker ’s request. The two men shared a technical draw last October on the Dmitry Bivol-Artur Beterbiev undercard in Riyadh, where both men fell out of the ropes, resulting in Whittaker being unfit to continue.

Whittaker looked confident in the opening round, finding the range with his left and looking to let his right hand go. A good left to the body and a sharp right to Cameron’s chin was the pick of his work. Cameron would land his own right hand, but Whittaker responded with a good counter to close the round.

Whittaker’s busy jab had started to draw blood from Cameron’s nose, beginning the second round with the same confidence he had in the first. It wouldn’t take long for Whittaker to close the show. The Olympic silver medalist caught Cameron unaware as the pair traded with a right hand. Whittaker pounced with a clubbing right to the top of the head, forcing Cameron back to the ropes where he was met by a flurry of shots forcing referee Howard Foster to call the fight off at 1:53.

“I should have done the 12 rounds,” Whittaker joked in the Sky Sports post-fight interview. “Fair play to Liam. We spoke in the ring, and he said nobody has ever hit him like that. What happened in Saudi needed to happen. I’m still flashy, I’m still swaggy, but when I came in here, I was disciplined, and now people know I can hit.”

Undercard Results: Sam Eggington and Frazer Clarke Are Both Victorious

In the chief support, local veteran Sam Eggington (36-9, 20 KOs) defeated Lee Cutler (15-2, 7 KOs) to snatch the WBC international silver super welterweight title. The bout was forced to the scorecards at the beginning of the ninth round due to a cut on Eggington’s left eye, which the referee ruled a clash of heads. All three judges scored unanimously for the former British and European Champion at 87-85, 90-83 and 87-85.

Heavyweight Frazer Clarke (9-1-1, 7 KOs) returned to winning ways with a first-round stoppage against Ebenezer Tetteh (23-3, 20 KOs). It was the Olympic bronze medalist’s first fight back since a devastating first-round knockout defeat to rival Fabio Wardley , where he reviewed a gruesome broken jaw last October. Clarke pounced on Tetteh while landing two straight right hands. As Tetteh retreated back onto the ropes, Clarke landed a good left-right combination forcing the referee to halt the contest at 1:52 in the opening round.
