Shane Cameron Officially Cleared For David Tua Clash
By Mark Vester
Heavyweight contender Shane Cameron has been officially cleared for his October 3 clash with New Zealand rival David Tua. The fight takes place at the Mystery Creek Events Centre in New Zealand. The bout was postponed to the October date after Cameron injured his right hand during a March tuneup against Robert Davis.
Cameron's right hand was fractured in three places and surgery was required. Surgeon Tim Tasman-Jones gave Cameron the green light to start full training and punching with the right hand in camp.
"It's a great thing to get the okay," said Cameron's manager Ken Reinsfield to TVZN. "We're pretty happy and I know the promoters, Duco Events, would be fairly relieved to have it all on track."
"He can start punching, but he still won't be punching full power straight away. He'll just work it up over the next few weeks and then we'll be fully in camp nine weeks from the fight."
