Ben Whittaker's Bout Against Liam Cameron Ends in Chaos After Both Fighters Fall Out of the Ring

Ben Whittaker vs. Liam Cameron

Ben Whittaker's highly anticipated fight against Liam Cameron ended dramatically when both fighters tumbled over the top rope and out of the ring, leading to a premature stoppage due to injury. The incident occurred during a wild exchange on the undercard of Dmitry Bivol vs. Artur Beterbiev in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, leaving the crowd in shock.

As the two boxers backed toward the ropes at the end of a heated round, a forceful collision caused both fighters to lose their balance and topple over them. The scene was chaotic as they crashed outside the ring, stunning the audience. While both remained down briefly, it was clear that Whittaker had suffered the more severe injury. He eventually got back to his feet but was visibly favoring his leg as he re-entered the ring to receive medical attention.

After having his shoe removed and his leg examined by his trainers, it became evident that Whittaker could not continue the fight. With the contest stopped due to injury, the judges' scorecards were tallied to determine a decision, but even that outcome stirred controversy.

The final tally came in at 58-57 for Whittaker, 58-57 for Cameron, and 58-58, resulting in a split draw. Liam Cameron, who believed he had done enough to secure the victory, left the ring dejected. The broadcast team praised Cameron’s performance while acknowledging that Whittaker struggled throughout the night.

Though the split draw may have left a bitter taste for both fighters, the focus now shifts to Whittaker’s recovery. The British prospect was wheeled out of the arena after the fall, and his return to the ring will depend on how quickly he can heal. Given the circumstances, a rematch between Whittaker and Cameron seems likely once Whittaker is back in fighting form.
