Ben Whittaker was involved in a bizarre incident in the fifth round of his fight against Liam Cameron in Saudi Arabia. The young Brit, who has gained a reputation for his flamboyant antics, left the ring in a wheelchair after both fighters dramatically tumbled over the ropes.

Whittaker was dominant for the vast majority of the fight, which took place in Saudi Arabia ahead of the highly-anticipated showdown between Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol. However, a strange incident in the fifth round saw the bout stopped in unusual fashion.

The two fighters looked set to come together in a clinch but ended up flying over the top rope and crashing onto the edge of the canvas outside the ring. Cameron was able to climb to his feet but Whittaker stayed down and was clearly in some discomfort.
