Commonwealth champ Dominic Vea to face Shane Cameron on Green undercard

Commonwealth cruiserweight champion Dominic Vea (AUS) will defend his belt against former heavyweight Shane Cameron (NZ) in the headline bout on the Danny Green vs Antonio Tarver undercard on 20 July in Sydney.

Vea (13-2, 10KO) is expecting a tough fight against Cameron, but acknowledges the New Zealander is still adjusting to his recent move down to cruiserweight.

Dominic says, “I’ve watched a lot of tape of Cameron at heavyweight and cruiserweight. He’s got decent speed but it’s a new ball game for him after only one fight at the true cruiserweight limit. He will struggle against a fighter of my calibre.”

This will be the Commonwealth champion’s first fight in a year. His last hit-out was a bruising encounter in July 2010, when Vea claimed the Commonwealth title despite entering the ring with a broken nose.

“Time out of the ring has really freshened me up,” says Vea. “It feels great to be injury-free and training intensely again.”

Vea’s training regime now includes daily morning sessions with renowned trainer Ray Kelly before another two hours each afternoon at Core Strength Gym Mt Druitt.
