This weekend, boxing fans are in for a treat as Ben Whittaker, a rising star in the sport, will be showcasing his skills in Liverpool. The 28-year-old will be stepping into the ring against Braian Suarez at the MandS Arena on Saturday, April 18. The fight will be available for live streaming on DAZN.
Whittaker, a light heavyweight with an impressive record of 10 wins, 1 draw, and 7 knockouts, has been brought in to replace WBO champion Callum Smith, who had to withdraw from the event due to an injury sustained during training. Known for his talent, Whittaker made a strong debut with a first-round victory over Benjamin Gavazi last November.
The upcoming match will see Whittaker aiming to maintain his unbeaten streak as he faces off against Suarez, an Argentine fighter with a record of 21 wins and 4 losses, with 20 knockouts. Suarez is coming off a second-round TKO victory over Sergio Santos Dantas in his last fight.
In addition to the main event, the undercard will feature exciting matchups such as Molly McCann vs Ashleigh Johnson in the junior featherweight category, Joe McGrail vs Aaron Hayden in the same division, and Leo Atang vs Viktor Chvarkou in the heavyweight division. The coverage is set to start at 7pm, with Whittaker and Suarez expected to enter the ring around 9.20pm.
