Yeah I would be absolutely amazed if the rematch happened any time soon. Whittaker will drop back down a level for a few fights, under the guise of regaining sharpness after the 'injury' and will be praying Cameron loses at some point in the interim.

Hope FW gets him something nice while he is waiting
I can't see how anything other than an immediate rematch can be justified.
There is no need whatsoever for "a tune up fight"
"tune up" for what? The guy was apparently way below your level and you were going to clown him. Apparently you had some freak accident, but that doesn't change the fact that you're levels above this guy, right? So you're just going to go back in there and pick up where you left off, right...?
Swerving the immediate rematch (which they are 100% going to try and do) will do damage to Whittakers reputation, much like Clarke had his reputation badly damaged by the purse bids fiasco.
I hope the Saudis put unbearable pressure on them and force the immediate rematch
He's beaten the bloke who beat the bloke who won the last scheduled Central Area Light Heavy belt. That's about his ceiling now. If he do a Dave Allen, get a couple of mid level wins then bow out on the undercard of a big bill that's be a nice end.
I don’t know why he talked about being wronged. He failed two tests. His promoter said as such. And his missus got sent down for the same product, he was bang at it but played the victim and has had it off from it. Are we meant to celebrate the ‘redemption’ of this ilk?

What did he fail in?
Twice for cocaine. He never mentions he had failed once before the test he is known for failing. His promoter Hobson speaks openly about it. And his wife got sent down for drug dealing.
Good, keep the same energy for Joseph Parker, Tyson Fury, Canelo, Roy Jones, Mike Tyson, Ali and your other favorite fighters too. Not that they'd ever get banned for four years.
I don't care about fighters doing coke. It's not performance enhancing, well not unless you're using it during the fight and I've never seen a cornerman holding up a CD case and a rolled-up 20 to a fighter between rounds. A coke habit will screw up your ability to fight, not enhance it. So I think his ban was harsh.
Regarding 'Liam Cameron Appreciation' I can't say the public persona he adopted following his controversial first fight with Quittiker endeared him to me very much.
You can film him shopping in Aldi and interview him sitting outside next to fly-tipped mattresses and fridges all you like going on about how salt of the earth he is. We all saw his first purchases were a hair-replacement operation and a mouth full of gold teeth, who doesn't exactly scream down-to-earth Man of the People.
I see he got stopped last time out, too. I'm not quite sure what it is I'm meant to be appreciative of?

I am told
She is out already
She is, she was on home leave early and is out now on licence. Overcrowding and all that jazz.
Boxing King Media pushing Liam big again. Oh the irony as he’s a former South Yorkshire PC Gully. He’s well aware of what Liam used to do when boxing didn’t pay.
