Live results and updates will be shown tonight below:

– Ben Whittaker (8-0-1, 5 KOs) and Liam Cameron (23-6-1, 10 KOs) fought to a five-round split draw in light heavyweight action scheduled for ten rounds.

The 2020 Olympic silver medalist Whittaker suffered a right leg injury after he and Cameron both tumbled out of the ring in the fifth round. Whittaker, 27, injured his leg in the fall and couldn’t continue.

The timing of the injury, coming when Whittaker was getting the worst of it, gave the impression to some fans that he was looking for a way out of the fight. It looked to some like Whittaker quit and used the injury to avoid getting beaten.

The scores were:

– 58-57 – Whittaker
– 58-57 – Cameron
– 58-58

Cameron was coming on from the third round, landing the much harder shots, and seemingly troubling Whittaker. You could tell that Whittaker was bothered by the powerful shots from Cameron.

In the fifth, Whittaker repeatedly hit Cameron with blow blows, resulting in the referee giving him a hard warning. Moments later, Whittaker grabbed Cameron in a clinch, and the two fell out of the ring.

– Mohammed Alakel (1-0) won his pro debut at super featherweight, defeating Jesus Gonzalez (3-3) by a four-round unanimous decision. The scores were 40-36, 40-36, and 40-36. The lanky Alakel jabbed, landed right hands, and controlled the action against aggressive Gonzalez. In the fourth, Gonzalez went the attack, pressing the action, but Alakel did a good job of avoiding his shots.
