Boxing match ends in draw as fighters crash out of the ring

A light-heavyweight boxing match between British fighters Ben Whittaker and Liam Cameron ended in a draw on Saturday in Riyadh. Both competitors tumbled out of the ring toward the end of the fifth round after grappling onto the ropes.

Whittaker left the arena in a wheelchair due to a leg injury and was taken to the hospital for scans. Cameron landed on top of Whittaker as they fell, and Whittaker was unable to get up afterward.

The bout was subsequently abandoned and declared a technical split draw. The scorecards showed Whittaker leading 58-57 on one, Cameron ahead by the same score on another, and the third scorecard tied at 58-58.

This fight took place on the undercard of the undisputed light-heavyweight world title bout between WBA champion Dmitry Bivol and WBC, WBO, and IBF champion Artur Beterbiev.
