Ben Whittaker and Liam Cameron collide once again in an attempt to settle their scores in a light heavyweight contest at the bp Pulse Live Arena in Birmingham.
Boxxer promote Whittaker vs Cameron 2, and Sky Sports televise live in the UK.
2024 Olympic Silver medallist Whittaker (8-0-1, 5 KOs) was scoring highlight-reel early wins at the start of his professional career, but then failed to impress in a routine points win against Eworitse Arenyeka last June.
The Midlander then would have hoped to get back on track against Cameron (23-6-1, 10 KOs) in Ryadh last October, but the Sheffield man overcame early pressure, and then regularly troubled the tiring Whittaker until the pair fell over the top rope together in the sixth round.
Whittaker was unable to continue, so a technical decision was needed, and Cameron looked like he had done enough to win, but the fight was declared a draw.
Cameron had previously served a lengthy ban for cocaine use, and returned after over four years away in 2023, winning three times before giving Lyndon Arthur a run for his money last June, losing a split decision.
Prediction: Whittaker took Cameron lightly last time out, and I think he will learn from those mistakes in the sequel. He can avoid some rocky moments to run out a points winner.

Frazer Clarke returns
Frazer Clarke (8-1-1, 6 KOs) makes a first appearance of 2025, and he takes on Ebeneezer Tetteh (23-2, 20 KOs) over a scheduled ten at heavyweight.
Clarke was involved in a thrilling draw with Fabio Wardley last March for the British and Commonwealth titles, but the rematch in Saudi Arabia in October 2024 saw Clarke wiped out inside a round, suffering a badly broken jaw to compound the defeat.
Tetteh Was blasted out in a round by Daniel Dubois in 2019, but was spirited against Dillian Whyte in his last outing, eventually retiring after seven rounds in Gibraltar last December.
Prediction: Clarke should return with a win, and may go a few rounds with Tetteh before the African is halted around halfway.
Full undercard preview
The WBC International Silver super welterweight title is at stake on the card, and champion Lee Cutler (15-1, 7 KOs), fresh off a majority decision win against Stephen McKenna, can defend with a points win against the battle-hardened Sam Eggington (35-9, 20 KOs).

Former European champion Tyler Denny (19-3-3, 1 KO) also appears, and he can rebound from a two-round loss to Hamzah Sheeraz by taking a points win over ten in his middleweight meeting with a win on the cards against Elvis Ahorgah (13-3, 12 KOs) who was stopped in five by Callum Simpson in his most recent contest.
The final ten rounder is at middleweight, where Bradley Goldsmith (12-0, KO8) can become the new Midlands Area champion with a points victory against Troy Coleman (13-3-1, 5 KOs).
In an eight round contest at welterweight, Elliot Whale (11-0, 7 KOs) can come through on the cards against former English super lightweight champion, Lucas Ballingall (18-2, 5 KOs).
The only six rounder is at super middleweight, where Mark Jeffers (19-0, 6 KOs) can tick over with a stoppage win against Ricardo Lara (24-13-2, 12 KOs).
