Quotes
Ben Whittaker: “This is an opportunity for me to give the fans a decisive result. There’s no doubt in my mind that this time, there will be no room for controversy. This time, we will finish it on my terms. To all the fans who supported me and even those that have doubted me, this one’s for you. April 20th, I’m home and I’m going to give the people something special.”
Liam Cameron: “I’m pleased to get this fight confirmed. I feel like I was winning the last fight before he tried pretending to be a WWE star and pulled me over the top rope. I really believe I would have stopped him, but that’s in the past now, we’re ready to go on April 20th. I want to thank my manager and my promoters Frank and George Warren for helping to get this rematch over the line. I look forward to getting in there and finishing the job.”

Prediction
Tim Rickson, BBN Editor: "I believe that Whittaker underestimated Cameron in their first fight, plus he seemed a little flat on the night, constantly being drawn into exchanges when he really should have been using his attributes to fight at range, like his corner constantly instructed him to do.
"This time around, I can see Whittaker boxing to instruction, with Andy Lee now in his corner, and staying smart and disciplined to pick Cameron off at range. There was a significant gulf in speed, Cameron visibly so much slower than Whittaker, but Ben didn't make the most of his advantages. This time, I believe Ben will be disciplined and sensible enough to use his gains and box wisely to win the fight on points."
