Speaking to talkSPORT in October, Cameron said: “He 100 per cent quit. Of course, he did. “From the second round, he was breathing so heavy. He spat his gum shield out, he was holding me constantly, he was low-blowing me. “And he basically dragged me onto the ropes. You can see him flip his head back. “He was exhausted, I was quite surprised how easy it was. “Ben Whittaker is in a really bad position because he has to fight me again. And he can’t beat me. There’s no way of that. “He cannot beat me. There’s no way on this planet Earth he can ever beat me.” During their talkSPORT face-off in February, Whittaker explained why he didn’t disclose the exact injuries that forced him to pull out of their first clash midway through. He said: “Listen, that’s just the way I am. I could have posted the X-ray but I didn’t. “It just isn’t the person I am. At the end of the day nobody wants to hear it. “People want to just see us run it back in a rematch, fair enough it happened it was very bizarre. “The injury is very good now, I am in a great way and I’m now very happy to be fair.”
