Ben Whittaker appeared to goad the corner of Liam Cameron after storming beyond his rival with a statement stoppage victory on Sunday. Was his celebration justified or did he cross the line?<\/p>\n
Whittaker answered his critics in style as he powered past Cameron in the second round on what had loomed as a defining night in his career.<\/p>\n
The Olympic silver medallist had been accused by his opponent of ‘quitting’ during October’s first meeting, which was ruled a split draw when an injured Whittaker was left unable to continue after the two fighters bizarrely tumbled over the top rope.<\/p>\n
It prompted a sharp and focused performance second time round from Whittaker, who was greeted by a mixture of cheers and boos during his ring walk in Birmingham before ending his rivalry with Cameron once and for all.<\/p>\n
Upon stopping his opponent, an animated Whittaker raced around the ring in celebration before sticking his head through the ropes during an exchange with Cameron’s trainer Grant Smith.<\/p>\n

“You heard everybody boo me, they’re portraying me as a bad guy,” Whittaker told Sky Sports in his post-fight interview when asked if he had spat at Smith. “But at the end of the day I work very hard, my emotions came out.<\/p>\n
“I was roaring like a Lion, if a little bit of dribble came out, a bit of dribble came out.”<\/p>\n
Trainer Andy Lee also defended Whittaker’s celebrations, having teamed up with the 27-year-old ahead of a defining night in his career in the wake of his first fight against Cameron.<\/p>\n
“Nobody can underestimate what this man has gone through the last however many months,” said Lee. “Mentally, the barrage of insults, the fact he’s still standing here in the ring tonight, not many people could put up with what he’s gone through.<\/p>\n
“He’s still here and performed like that.<\/p>\n
“I know for a fact I’m not going to spend time with somebody who is not worthy of my time.<\/p>\n
“This guy is the best person you’ll ever spend time with. He is an emotional guy, he did lose control but it’s only natural with what he’s been through the last six or seven months.”<\/p>\n
