Whittaker and Cameron fall out of ring, fight stopped and goes to draw

Ben Whittaker and Liam Cameron went to a bizarre draw on the Beterbiev vs Bivol undercard.

Light heavyweight prospect Ben Whittaker lost his perfect record today in Riyadh, though he didn’t suffer a defeat.

Whittaker went to a technical decision split draw in six rounds with Liam Cameron, after the two of them fell over the top rope and out to the ring apron at the end of round five.

Here’s the video:

I mean, you don’t see that every day.

Whittaker (8-0-1, 5 KO) came up with what appeared to be an injury to his right leg, and never stood under his own power, as he was helped to his stool in the corner and left the ring area via wheelchair.

Cameron (23-6-1, 10 KO) had given the 27-year-old Whittaker a much tougher test than most expected coming into the fight, and the 33-year-old veteran clearly felt he’d been robbed of a win on the cards.

One judge scored the fight 58-57 for Whittaker, another 58-57 for Cameron, and the third came back even at 58-58. Judges had to score a sixth round that didn’t actually happen, which was 10-10 on each card.
