The light heavyweight was left frustrated after failing to win for the first time in his professional career.
Whittaker, 27, has built a reputation for swatting aside his opponents with ease as many have barely laid a glove on him.
But Cameron gave him a sterner test and the judges ruled the contest a draw after Whittaker was unable to continue the fight following his fall.
The 2020 Olympic silver medalist injured his right leg in the fall, with Cameron left unscathed.
Cameron, 33, was also left gutted at the end of the fight as he believes he was on top and set to win the bout.
He said: “He [Whittaker] had nothing left. Kid was knackered from round two. I definitely beat him. I don’t get a fair share [in fights]. What more do I have to do?
“Never had a promotional deal in my life and I tried my best to win that today and I think I deserved the win.”

Asked if he though Whittaker was looking for a way out, he added: “Yeah. 100 per cent. You can see it on camera. I don’t want to be critical of him.”
Boxing pundit Johnny Nelson also raised doubt over Whittaker, suggesting the fighter was “trying to find a way out” of continuing.
He said: “Now, I’m a massive fan of Ben Whittaker. I’ve sang his praises constantly, but he needs to watch the replay before he says anything to anybody about what the injury is.
“We’ve looked at it time and time again and we’ve not seen that right ankle hit anything. We thought it was his back. There needs to be some explanation around it.
“It looks like he was trying to find a way out and I feel bad saying that.”
