This weekend in Liverpool, boxing fans will have the opportunity to witness the exciting skills of Ben Whittaker as he steps into the ring. Whittaker, a 28-year-old light heavyweight with a record of 10-0-1 and 7 knockouts, will be taking on Braian Suarez at the MandS Arena on Saturday, April 18. The fight will be available for live streaming on DAZN.
Whittaker was brought in to replace WBO champion Callum Smith, who had to withdraw from the event due to an injury. Known as one of boxing’s most promising talents, Whittaker made a statement in his Matchroom debut by defeating Benjamin Gavazi in the first round last November.
Facing off against Suarez, who boasts a record of 21-4 with 20 knockouts, Whittaker aims to continue his unbeaten streak. Suarez is coming off a second-round TKO victory over Sergio Santos Dantas in November.
The undercard will 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 fight night coverage will commence at 7pm, with Whittaker and Suarez expected to enter the ring around 9.20pm.
