Headlining the event is a crucial IBF light heavyweight final eliminator bout between Ben Whittaker and Conor Wallace.
Ben Whittaker, with a record of 12-0-1 including 9 knockouts, has bounced back impressively following a controversial technical draw against Liam Cameron in October 2024. Since then, the Olympic silver medalist changed his training setup by joining forces with Andy Lee and has scored four consecutive knockout victories, highlighted by a rematch win over Cameron in April 2025. Whittaker also made his U.S. debut recently on the June card featuring Jaron “Boots” Ennis vs. Xander Zayas, stopping Richard Rivera in just two rounds.
Conor Wallace holds a 17-1 record with 10 KOs and has won 10 fights after his only career loss, a majority decision to Leti Leti in 2021. Now fighting out of Australia, the Irishman won an IBF eliminator against Jerome Pampellone in August 2024 and has already fought once this year, knocking out Walter Gabriel Sequeira in April.
