Ben Whittaker and Liam Cameron finally know how many round their rematch will be contested at.
The teams of Whittaker and Cameron have been locked in a dispute for weeks ahead of their rematch at the B Pulse LIVE in Birmingham on Sunday.
Cameron said he signed for a 12-round clash, but claimed Whittaker’s team was trying to change it to a 10-round fight.
Whittaker’s promoter, Ben Shalom admitted an error was made with both fighters sent different contracts, with Whittaker signing for a 10-round showdown.
“In the first instance, there was an admin error in the office with the paperwork,” Shalom told talkSPORT.
“I think it was a couple of days when it was noticed and and to be honest, as sensible partners, I thought it’d be all worked out quickly, and it seemed like it was getting worked out.
“They wanted extra money and compensation, and we agreed to that, and we felt like we moved on from that.”
On Thursday, Cameron’s manager Lee Eaton confirmed that the sides had come to an agreement for the bout to be contested at 10 rounds.

Eaton posted on X: “Update – Team @liamcameron21 has come to an agreement with @boxxer/@benjshalom to make the fight with Ben whittaker a 10 round fight, we are very happy with the new terms agreed & look forward to the fight on Sunday on @skysportsboxing #ANDTHENEW.”
The first bout between the pair ended in a controversial, technical draw in October, with both men falling out of the ring in the sixth round and Whittaker leaving the arena in a wheelchair, although Cameron believes his rival could have continued.
The Olympic Silver medalist suffered a first blemish in his professional career and has since teamed up with former middleweight world champion, Andy Lee as his new trainer.
Lee boasts a stable which includes Joseph Parker, Hamzah Sheeraz and Paddy Donovan.
