Known as the Mountain Warrior, Shane Cameron was the Commonwealth cruiserweight champion and held the WBO Oriental, WBO Asia-Pacific and IBF Pan-Pacific titles. Today, he’s a businessman, with ventures including the Shane Cameron Fitness gym and the Counterpunch boxing range.


In today’s episode, Shane talks about:

  • his rural upbringing and how he felt like — in his words — the “dumbest kid in school,”

  • the fight of the century and what he regrets about his behaviour in the lead-up to that event, and

  • his depression following his world championship fight with Danny Green, and how he came back from it.
