Less than two weeks after Conor Benn controversially stepped back into the ring in the sunshine locale of Florida, former Commonwealth middleweight champion Liam Cameron will be aiming to do likewise in the more prosaic environment of Sheffield.
Stepping out at the Canon Medical Arena on Friday night will mark the 32-year-old's first entry into a professional boxing ring in more than five years. It will be his first competitive action since stopping Nicky Jenman in two rounds before the result was overturned to a ‘no contest’ following Cameron’s subsequent failing of a post-fight drug test.
the UK Anti-Doping Agency - identified traces of benzoylecgonine in his urine sample and despite Cameron’s repeated protestations of his innocence, issued him with a maximum four-year ban. A later appeal from the boxer against the sentence was rejected. The lack of support that the Sheffield fighter feels he received from the boxing committee contrasts sharply with what has been lavished more recently on Benn since his positive test for the banned substance clomiphene.
