Shane Cameron: record, next fight and profile →
Shane "The Mountain Warrior" Cameron is hoping to be back in the ring by the end of this year. Cameron, 33, is still nursing his surgically repaired right hand. The troublesome right hand was injured in his knockout win over Dominic Vea, in Sydney last month, which saw him crowned Commonwealth cruiserweight champion.
Cruiserweight contender Shane Cameron (27-2, 21KOs) is going to be out a lot longer than previously believed. The boxer's right broken hand has been re-assessed after an MRI scan and now requires minor surgery which is expected to take ten weeks to heal. Cameron broke his hand in the fifth round of his Commonwealth Title fight with Dominic Vea on July 20th in New South Wales. Cameron knocked Vea out in the twelfth round.
New Commonwealth cruiserweight boxing champion Shane Cameron has again expressed a desire to fight Danny Green, but said any potential bout wouldn't take place until next year after damaging his hand again, according to a recent interview with New Zealand Stuff.
At the Entertainment Centre in Sydney, Australia, Antonio Tarver (29-6, 20KOs) stopped Danny Green (31-4, 27KOs) within ten rounds to capture the IBO cruiserweight title.
New Zealand boxer Shane Cameron will face the most important fight of his career when he goes up against Australian Dominic Vea for the Commonwealth Cruiserweight championship in Sydney next week - and his team wants all of New Zealand on his side. The fight, which will be screened exclusively live and free-to-air on Maori Television, is make or break for Cameron - and his best shot at a chance for the world title. The former heavyweight is currently ranked 11th in the world in the cruiserweight division but despite an impressive scorecard of 26 victories from 28 fights to date, he considers this fight to be his most important yet.
