Ben Whittaker vs. Liam Cameron II: Who wins the rematch?

5 days ago | boxingscene.com | Matt Christie

Ben Whittaker entered his October fight with Liam Cameron far too high on his own talent and would end it with his opponent on top of him, literally and figuratively. The revered prospect opted not to fight anymore, at least not on that night, and so began a public crusade against him. The 2020 Olympic silver medallist’s crime was not only withdrawing from a difficult fight, it was also his behavior during each of the straightforward outings that had come before.

Sunday’s light heavyweight rematch between Ben Whittaker and Liam Cameron is currently scheduled for 10 rounds, according to event promoter Boxxer and the British Boxing Board of Control. There has been confusion, however, after Cameron – who held the fancied Whittaker to a surprise technical draw last October – claimed to have been sent a contract for a 12-round fight.

The World Boxing Association (WBA) have confirmed they will only sanction bouts in Britain which are governed by the British Boxing Board of Control (BBBoC) after an objection from the national commission - in relation to the British and Irish Boxing Authority (BIBA) - was filed at the WBA Convention in December.

When ‘Terrible’ Terry Norris slayed John ‘The Beast’ Mugabi

3 weeks ago | boxingscene.com | Matt Christie

Thirty-five years ago this week, the paths of two wrecking machines crossed when Terry Norris obliterated John Mugabi inside a round to win his first junior middleweight title. Neither was destined to emerge unscathed. Norris had lost to Julian Jackson in two rounds, a defeat that served to galvanize his ambition to rule the world, just seven months before he stepped into the ring with “The Beast”. Mugabi had suffered losses, too, but they had an altogether different effect.
George Foreman, His Lucky Shorts, And Some Poignant Advice From His Wife

BN: YOU famously wore the same shorts against Michael Moorer that you had worn 20 years before against Muhammad Ali. What was the thinking behind that? GF: Everlast had made a series of trunks for me when I was heavyweight champion the first time.
Tiara Brown scraps her way to upset split decision over Skye Nicolson

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA – Tiara Brown scored a sizeable upset as she claimed the WBC featherweight title and a split decision over Australia’s Skye Nicolson after 10 messy and hard-to-score rounds. Brown marched forward throughout and Nicolson, though her work was the classier, paid the price for failing to match the challenger’s output inside the Qudos Bank Arena. “My composure and pressure,” Brown, 19-0 (11 KOs), accurately surmised when asked afterwards what won her the fight.
The Chris Eubank Jnr £100,000 fine: why so high and where does the money go?

1 month ago | boxingscene.com | Matt Christie

Plenty of eyebrows were raised when news broke that Chris Eubank Jnr had been fined £100,000 ($125,000) by the British Boxing Board of Control (BBBoC) for hitting Conor Benn at a press conference to promote their April 26 contest. The incident, which has drawn huge publicity, occurred when the fighters were positioned for the customary face-off and Eubank struck Benn with the same hand that was clutching an egg.
Harlem Eubank to return to the gym to prepare for ... Conor Benn?

Once the entire cheesecake Harlem Eubank has been enjoying since Friday night has been devoured, he will go back to the gym and begin training camp with the belief and intensity that a fight with Conor Benn will occur on April 26. The dessert – so decadent that it costs around 10 dollars for a tiny portion – was waiting for the 32-year-old welterweight in the dressing room following his one-sided stoppage victory over Tyrone McKenna last weekend.
Dazzling Harlem Eubank calls out Conor Benn after thrashing Tyrone McKenna

1 month ago | boxingscene.com | Matt Christie

BRIGHTON – Fourteen months after Harlem Eubank’s previous appearance in front of his hometown Brighton fans, when he unpicked sturdy gatekeeper Timo Schwarzkopf in 11 rounds, the Englishman orchestrated a beatdown even more bedazzling to pummel the resistance from Tyrone McKenna in 10. That performance against Schwarzkopf, in this same Brighton Centre in November 2023, was thought to have taken Eubank to the next level but what followed was actually very little.
