With the fight set for this weekend, fans are eager to watch this fight unfold in what is expected to be a great spectacle. – and now there has been even more controversy.
Just to add to the pressure, there has also been much controversy in the build-up to this fight too.

After Cameron had signed the contract, Whittaker’s representatives claimed that the proposed 12 rounds was an error and that they only wanted a 10-round fight.
