Olympic silver medalist Ben Whittaker (9-0-1, 6 KOs) will be officially unveiled by Matchroom Sport at a press conference this Friday to announce that Birmingham, England's’s National Exhibition Centre (The NEC) will host Whittaker in a light heavyweight bout against Germany’s hard-hitting Benjamin Gavazi (19-1, 13 KOs). The show's chief support will see bitter rivals Cameron Vuong and Gavin Gwynne return to the scene of their controversial first fight in a long-awaited rematch. Vuong is now under the tutelage of trainer Ben Davison and was victorious against Gwynne last year in a hotly contested unanimous points win. On the same night in Birmingham, former MMA superstar Molly McCann is back out too for her second pro bout – plus Coventry’s Aaron Bowen looks to continue his run of form in front of his local fans when he battles Tom Cowling for the vacant Midlands Area mIddleweight title.

Matchroom Sport Chairman Eddie Hearn said: “Ben Whittaker is the greatest signing any promoter in the world could have made. And he levels up from the get-go in front of his home fans in Birmingham on what is another unmissable card, stacked with huge fights. Vuong-Gwynne II has been a year in the making – and on November 29, Cameron Vuong will be hungry to dispel any doubts over their first fight and set himself up for a busy year ahead. Molly McCann enjoyed a brilliant debut in Belfast. She has a huge future ahead of her too and this will be another important step-up in what is only her second professional fight. And Aaron Bowen has a great opportunity to kick on in the Middleweight division when he fights for the Midlands Area title. It will be a cracking night with more top fights still to be announced.”

DAZN VP, Alfie Sharman, added: “The Matchroom Boxing debut of Ben Whittaker will be a massive moment for the sport. And it is all live, all exclusive worldwide, only on DAZN.”
