yep, that was a madness fight. he was petrified against Dubois but seems to have found his man strength against Whyte. Definitely a live one if everything is kosher.

Don't think Whittaker has got the minerals.

He'll get stopped late on or retire on his stool

I see Amir Khan's now suing Boxxer now for breach of contact, hard necked bastard I must say, it's easy to take the piss out of Shalom but any agreement both parties had should be null and void seeing as Khan popped dirty

Slightly veering off topic, why don't all promoters, if they actually care about stopping drug use in sport, insert some sort of clause in contracts that puts significant financial consequences on fighters for failing a test in the lead up to or after a fight?

Apparently Khan was promised media gigs and a few other things post fight that escape me, he's just tweeted it's resolved and he's looking forward to working with Boxxer again whatever that means , you never know with Khan

Ben Whittaker vs Liam Cameron rematch rounds row reaches resolution for Sunday's light-heavyweight clash

Ben Whittaker and Liam Cameron rematch on Sunday April 20 live on Sky Sports; the rival camps had been deadlocked in a dispute over the number of rounds that the bout would be contested over but that has now been resolved and they will fight over 10 rounds

Ben Whittaker and Liam Cameron will contest their light-heavyweight rematch on Sunday over 10 rounds, it has been confirmed.

The rival camps were deadlocked in a row over the duration of the bout, which will be staged in Birmingham on Sunday, live on Sky Sports.

Cameron revealed he had initially signed for a 12-round fight, even though their first contest was a 10 rounder.

The argument between the two teams stretched into the week of the fight but now a resolution has been reached and Sunday's rematch will remain over 10 rounds.

Dumb move from Cameron accepting the payoff - unless it was massive.

If Whittaker wins first four, which is likely, in a 12 rounder, Liam only has to win 87.5% of the remaining rounds to win and 75% of the remaining rounds not to lose.

In a 10 rounder if Whittaker wins the first four, Cameron has to win 100% of the remaining rounds to win and 83.3% not to lose.

Whittaker's silence on this whole saga has been deafening, he has serious fragilities which ordinarily I wouldn't laugh at but seeing as he loves to act the Billy big bollocks with journeymen so hahahahah

Maybe he's just let everyone else do the talking, knowing he has to knuckle down and focus.

Anyone have any idea what Liam is likely to have received? Or what his purse is?
