'I'm sick of hearing his name' - Liam Cameron hits out at opponent Ben Whittaker ahead of Riyadh Season clashDAZN
Whittaker vs. Cameron is part of huge card headlined by Artur Beterbiev vs Dmitry Bivol.

Liam Cameron has his full focus on his clash with Ben Whittaker on Saturday night, so much so he doesn't even want to hear his opponent's name in the final build for the fight. 

The two clash on the undercard of the huge Riyadh Season event, which is headlined by the much-anticipated encounter between Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol, and Fabio Wardley vs. Frazer Clarke's rematch. 

Ahead of their fight, Cameron was asked by DAZN what he thought of his upcoming opponent, but 'the Cannonball' dismissed Whittaker and admitted he was sick of the sight of him. 

He said: "I don't want anything to do with him, to be fair, I'm sick of hearing his name being mentioned. I can't even watch him on screen. 

"It's going to be a good fight. Maybe I'll shake his hand after the fight and stuff, but if not, good luck to him." 

The eccentric Cameron was also asked about bouncing back from the various hurdles he's had to overcome to get to Riyadh and how much of it's been down to his mental strength. 

Adding: "I've tried to switch pain off. Pain doesn't exist this week"
