Ben Whittaker says he enjoyed life from the center of attention and improved better ways to get out of the ring for his match with Liam Cameron
Cameron is open to finding a solution. A spokesman for his promoter Queensberry said: “Liam and his licensed manager are incredibly frustrated that they are so close to an important struggle in this situation. This is not a Queensberry or Liam problem for which he is not responsible or is not our problem.
“Liam is open to investigate solutions to ensure that the fight remains, but strongly prefers 12 laps and has a signed 12 -round contract. It is on Boxxer to solve it, and we hope to have something on the table soon to discuss with Liam and his team.”

Cameron accused Whittaker of the “end” in their first fight.
“It was hard there and when it makes it difficult, you want to go out,” Cameron said. “When you’re in pain and fighting don’t go in the way, he wanted to get out of there.
“He didn’t want any part (of that).”
Whittaker is a splendid warrior when boxes now famous for his showboating. But Cameron claimed that their first fight was punished.
“It changed a little. Just at that time was not the same person (at Gloves are gone). Pretty humble, dear guy. Come with another approach. I like it, ”Cameron said Sky Sports News.
“I was there to beat myself. He was there to show what he was made of … I stopped.”
