This weekend, Liverpool will witness the boxing skills of Ben Whittaker as he steps into the ring at the MandS Arena to face Braian Suarez on April 18. Whittaker, a 28-year-old light heavyweight with a record of 10 wins, 0 losses, and 1 draw, is replacing the injured WBO champion Callum Smith for this highly anticipated bout. Known for his impressive performance in his Matchroom debut last November against Benjamin Gavazi, Whittaker aims to continue his undefeated streak against Suarez, an Argentine boxer with a record of 21 wins and 4 losses, including 20 knockouts.
The fight card also includes matches between Molly McCann and Ashleigh Johnson in the junior featherweight category, Joe McGrail against Aaron Hayden in another junior featherweight bout, and Leo Atang facing Viktor Chvarkou in the heavyweight division. The event will kick off at 7 pm, with Whittaker and Suarez expected to enter the ring around 9:20 pm.
Apart from this exciting showdown, fans can look forward to other upcoming high-profile fights such as David Benavidez versus Zurdo Ramirez on May 2, Fabio Wardley against Daniel Dubois on May 9, and Oleksandr Usyk versus Rico Verhoeven on May 23.
