LIAM CAMERON thanks Ben Whittaker for reviving his boxing career and HAIRLINE – and could repay him with a cup of hot chocolate.
Cameron was harshly banned for four years after testing positive for cocaine in 2018 and admitted to falling into a deep depression.

But he made a brave comeback in 2023 , winning three on the spin before losing a light-heavyweight title fight to Lyndon Arthur last June.
Cameron then snapped up the chance of a lifetime against Whittaker in Saudi Arabia last October.
But it ended in chaos when the two went over the top rope with injured Whittaker deemed unable to continue.
The five completed rounds went to the judges scorecards and resulted in a split-decision draw.
A rematch now follows on Easter Sunday with the score to be settled – and a hot drink to be shared afterwards.
Cameron, 34, said: “We’ll put it all to bed and we;ll have a black coffee together after.”
Whittaker, 27, replied: “I don’t like coffee. We’ll go for a hot chocolate or something.”
Humble Cameron gained a legion of new fans after many deemed him robbed of what was building towards a big upset.

And the former Commonwealth middleweight champion – now up at light-heavyweight – has cashed in on the fanfare.
He said: “I wish him all the best it’s nothing personal. I’ve had a lot out of Ben. I’ve got a new career, new hairline, new sponsors!
“I’m buzzing, I’m living life. Look at me, should be Cameron-Whittaker but thank you to everyone who’s supported me, it means the world.
“I’m going to finish the job, I promise.”
