Braian Suarez

Boxing

Matt Astbury

Ben Whittaker wasted no time in Liverpool on Saturday night with another first round highlight reel knockout. 

Whittaker was fast out the blocks with his fast hands, and jab established early. 

Looking to set up the right hand, he pressed Suarez on to the ropes, tapping him with a left to the body before detonating a right hand on the Argentinian with just over 40 seconds remaining in the first. 

On the undercard, there were wins for Molly McCann, Joe McGrail who became the new Central Area super bantamweight champion and heavyweight prsopect Leo Atang.

Re-live the fight night below.

Hearn teases McCann on Croke Park undercard

It looks like McCann could be set for a stadium outing later this year.  Speaking after her win, promoter Eddie Hearn teased that McCann could feature on Katie Taylor's Croke Park undercard if a deal can be arranged for the event to take place later this year.

McCann's win over Johnson confirmed

After eight rounds, McCann beats Johnson with a 78-74 scorecard. McCann's best boxing performance to date, and now she moves to 4-0.  DAZN pundit Tony Bellew described her display as "punch perfect".

McCann vs. Johnson: Round 8

A dominant performance from McCann who finishes the fight on a high.  She continued to her barrage on Johnson and stunned her with multiple punches in the closing stages.  It's an eight round shut out on my scorecard.  <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> What a fight 🔥<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/WhittakerSuarez?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#WhittakerSuarez</a> | Live NOW on DAZN ▪️ <a href="https://t.co/yzwTaBS9Ao">pic.twitter.com/yzwTaBS9Ao</a> — DAZN Boxing (@DAZNBoxing) <a href="https://twitter.com/DAZNBoxing/status/2045594699902144616?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 18, 2026</a></blockquote> <script async="async" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

McCann is letting her hands go now.  She pressed Johnson on to the ropes, and threw a successful right-left combination, and followed this up with two left hooks.  10-9 McCann

Closest round of the fight so far.  But McCann manages to find a way to breakthrough Johnson's tight guard.  Johnson is not deterred by what's coming her way.  10-9 McCann

Johnson continues to march forward, but McCann is too quick to react and evade any danger coming her way.  'Meatball' is comfortably on top.  10-9 McCann

McCann vs. Johnson: Round 1

These two women have come to fight, and are not afraid to trade leather.  Already Johnson is getting marked up as a result of McCann's aggressive start with her one-two combinations finding their way through.  10-9 McCann
