Ben Whittaker again wasted little time in remaining undefeated at the Echo Arena in Liverpool, as he needed less than a round to dismiss Argentina’s Braian Nahuel Suarez in their light heavyweight contest set for ten rounds.
Whittaker stopped Suarez live on DAZN as he continues to impress.
The original bill-topper was set to be Callum Smith against David Morrell, but Smith withdrew due to injury, and Whittaker was upgraded to main event status.
Olympic Silver medallist Whittaker (11-0-1, KO8) made a Matchroom debut last November, where he needed just over two minutes to dispatch Benjamin Gavazi, while Suarez (21-4, KO20) was best known for dropping Lyndon Arthur before being knocked out in ten in a challenge for the IBO belt in 2023.
Whittaker did as he pleased in the first round, and a heavy cuffing right hand robbed Suarez of his senses, and dumped him to the canvas, where he couldn’t regain his footing, and was counted out.
