Cameron returned to boxing last year after serving a five-year ban for a failed drugs test.
The former Commonwealth champion was a considerable underdog against Whittaker too, despite coming off a strong performance against British contender Lyndon Arthur.
Even so, the outcome of this contest could have never been anticipated, with Whittaker no doubt gearing up to demand an immediate rematch, wishing to get back to winning ways.
