OFFICIAL WEIGH-IN RESULTS AND BIRMINGHAM FIGHT NIGHT RUNNING ORDER AS RIVALS WHITTAKER AND WALLACE GET SET TO COLLIDE

Ben Whittaker has vowed to put on another show-stopping performance when he collides with Conor Wallace on Saturday night in their Final Eliminator for the IBF Light Heavyweight Title – live on DAZN.

Visitor Wallace was buoyed by his vocal travelling support as the pair weighed in ahead of their showdown at the Utilita Arena.

But the reigning and defending WBC Silver belt holder Whittaker was cool, calm and collected as he registered on the scales at 174.9lbs as Wallace came in lighter at 173.9lbs.

Speaking on stage tonight Whittaker, who has stopped all three of his opponents since joining Matchroom Boxing last year, said: “You know what time it is. I bring the glitz and the glam. Tomorrow, it is work time.

“There’s levels to this game. He [Conor Wallace] knows that. He’s happy to be here. I’m meant to be here. 

“He’s got a loss on his record, I haven’t. He’s slow as hell. I’m not. I tick every single box, he doesn’t. It’s time now for me to show that.

“My final prediction? Pain.”

Wallace, however, insists he is ready to spoil Whittaker’s homecoming and as he targets a date with the winner of December’s Unified Title showdown between Champion Dmitry Bivol and Callum Smith.

The Australian-based fighter said: “It’s great to have everyone here. There’s nothing like the fighting Irish. But it’s me who is going to be doing the fighting and he [Ben Whittaker] knows that.

“I’ve worked for nights like this my whole life. It’s the biggest test of my career. I know that. But the bigger the fighter, the better I perform. 

“I’m coming here tomorrow night to spoil the party. It’s like the fight is in my.hometown, not his.”

Matchroom Boxing’s latest recruit Odel Kamara is the co-Main Event on what is a stacked card as the Super Welterweight sensation from Liverpool makes his eagerly awaited professional debut.

Elsewhere, Walsall’s Hamza Uddin battles Sean Bruce for the British & Commonwealth Flyweight Titles, as Bilal Fawaz defends his British & Commonwealth Super Welterweight Titles against Eithan James. 

Ibraheem Sulaimaan, meanwhile, meets Sonny Hardy for the English Super Featherweight Title as Aaron Bowen battles Klint Baptiste for the Midlands Area Super Middleweight Title. Plus, rising undefeated young guns Adam Maca and Harley Burrows are both in action too.
