This weekend in Liverpool, the boxing world is set for an exciting showdown as Ben Whittaker, a rising star in the sport, steps into the ring against Braian Suarez at the MandS Arena on Saturday, April 18. Whittaker, a 28-year-old light heavyweight with a record of 10-0-1 and 7 KOs, will be replacing the injured WBO champion Callum Smith for the event. Known for his impressive skills, Whittaker made a statement in his Matchroom debut last November by defeating Benjamin Gavazi in the first round.
With an aim to continue his undefeated streak, Whittaker will face off against Suarez, a tough opponent with a record of 21-4 and 20 KOs, who is coming off a second-round TKO victory over Sergio Santos Dantas in November. The undercard will also feature exciting matchups including Molly McCann vs Ashleigh Johnson (junior featherweight), Joe McGrail vs Aaron Hayden (junior featherweight), and Leo Atang vs Viktor Chvarkou (heavyweight). The event coverage starts at 7 pm, with Whittaker and Suarez expected to enter the ring around 9.20 pm.
