One of the rising stars in the world of boxing, Ben Whittaker, is set to demonstrate his skills in Liverpool this weekend. The 28-year-old will step into the ring against Braian Suarez at the MandS Arena on Saturday, April 18. Viewers can catch the action live on DAZN.
Whittaker, a light heavyweight, has been brought in as a replacement for WBO champion Callum Smith, who withdrew from the event due to an injury during his training. With a record of 10 wins, 0 losses, and 1 draw, including 7 knockouts, Whittaker is highly regarded as a promising talent in the sport. In his Matchroom debut last November, he swiftly defeated Benjamin Gavazi in the first round.
Facing off against Suarez, with a record of 21 wins, 4 losses, and 20 knockouts, Whittaker aims to continue his unbeaten streak. Suarez enters the fight following a second-round TKO victory over Sergio Santos Dantas in November.
Other bouts on the undercard include Molly McCann vs Ashleigh Johnson in the junior featherweight category, Joe McGrail vs Aaron Hayden in junior featherweight, and Leo Atang vs Viktor Chvarkou in the heavyweight division. The coverage starts at 7 pm, with Whittaker and Suarez expected to enter the ring around 9:20 pm.
