Whittaker Vs Cameron 2
The fight has been clouded by contract drama from the start. Cameron’s camp received a 12-round agreement, while Whittaker’s was for just 10 – each version clearly tailored to their preferred strategies. Cameron wants to drag Whittaker deep into the championship rounds, where he struggled in their first encounter. Whittaker, on the other hand, is aiming for an early finish to prove a point and avoid fading late.
Whittaker’s reputation is on the line here. A solid, convincing win is necessary to get his career back on track. Whittaker’s tendency to coast is crucial – he can’t afford to do that during any part of this fight. He must stay disciplined for 10 rounds and not show any of the showboating he was previously used to. In his professional career, the longest fight he has had is round 8 back in 2023.
Cameron, at 34, views this as his last chance. He’s drawn confidence from the first fight, and a lot of fans who now all want to see him succeed, after he himself believed he should have won the first fight. His strategy will be to apply constant pressure, turning the fight into a gritty, all-out brawl. Cameron has the experience and toughness to make it a rough night for Whittaker. The key for him will be avoiding getting outboxed early and dragging Whittaker into the later rounds.
It’s worth noting that Cameron has shared the ring with names like Anthony Yarde (split-decision loss) and Sam Sheedy. Meanwhile, Whittaker’s toughest opponent so far has been Cameron himself. This is Whittaker’s chance to step up and prove he belongs in the upper tier of British boxing.
Whittaker Vs Cameron 1
In October 2024, the two faced off in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, on a packed undercard. Whittaker was the favourite, but Cameron gave him more than he bargained for. In the fifth round, the fight took a bizarre turn when both fighters tumbled out of the ring. Cameron recovered, but Whittaker could not continue, citing an ankle injury.
The result was a split draw, with two judges scoring the fight for each fighter and one scoring it even. The controversial finish led to a lot of debate, with Cameron believing he was on course to win, and Whittaker dismissing any notion of quitting.
Tony Bellew on X (former WBC cruiserweight champion):
“Whittaker’s got the talent, but he can’t afford to coast. Cameron’s a ballsy fighter, but he’s limited. Whittaker has the ability to win if he stays focused, but it won’t be easy. He needs to be ready to go through hell.”
What’s next? – Whittaker Vs Cameron 3?
