This weekend in Liverpool, boxing fans will have the opportunity to witness the skills of Ben Whittaker, one of the sport’s most exciting young talents. Whittaker, a 28-year-old light heavyweight, 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 was brought in as a replacement for WBO champion Callum Smith, who had to withdraw from the event due to an injury sustained during training. With a record of 10-0-1 and 7 knockouts, Whittaker is highly regarded in the boxing world after an impressive debut last November where he defeated Benjamin Gavazi in the first round.
Facing off against Suarez, who holds a record of 21-4 with 20 knockouts, Whittaker will aim to continue his undefeated streak. Suarez comes into the fight following a second-round TKO victory over Sergio Santos Dantas in November.
The undercard will feature other exciting matchups such as Molly McCann vs Ashleigh Johnson in the junior featherweight category, Joe McGrail vs Aaron Hayden also in junior featherweight, and Leo Atang vs Viktor Chvarkou in the heavyweight division. The event coverage starts at 7pm, with the Whittaker vs Suarez ring walks expected around 9.20pm.
In addition to this fight, several other high-profile bouts are lined up, including David Benavidez vs Zurdo Ramirez on May 2, Fabio Wardley vs Daniel Dubois on May 9, and Oleksandr Usyk vs Rico Verhoeven on May 23.
