Promoter Ben Shalom says Boxxer has made an offer to Liam Cameron for a rematch with Ben Whittaker.
The two light heavyweights fought in Saudi Arabia last October, with high-profile former Olympian Whittaker struggling before the fighter fell to the floor from the top rope. Citing injury, Whittaker said he was unable to continue, so the fight was ruled a technical draw after six rounds. Cameron has been campaigning for a rematch ever since.
Shalom said the rematch could now take place at Birmingham’s Resorts World Arena in mid-April as the headline event on a bill that would include heavyweight champion Frazer Clarke The return of Frazer Clarke in Riyadh.

It’s the numbers that will get the job done and then we’ve given the numbers that will get the job done. We believe we’ve given them the money they asked for and I’m not sure what else.”
When asked if it would become the main event at the venue, Shalom added: “If Liam takes it.”
Shalom said the coaches of Clark’s likely opponents have not yet agreed to play, but he hopes an agreement will be reached soon.
“He’ll be back in April for an interesting game which will be great to see,” Shalom added. “The fact that we’re talking about playing Fraser Clark in April is surprising to me but also very motivating because he’s been through a lot in October, mentally and physically. This month he’s Already back in the gym and ready to go, it’s going to be a big show in the Midlands.”
