The 30-year-old hasn’t seen action in the ring since stopping Nicky Jenman back in April 2018.
Cameron tested positive for benzoylecgenine in the same month as his win over Jenman, at the Ice Sheffield, and was subsequently banned for four years by UK Anti-Doping.
The former Commonwealth middleweight champion and ex-IBO Youth super-middleweight champion made a stand, insisting he wasn’t guilty, and vowed to fight the ruling.
But as 2020 got underway, within the first week of January, ‘The Cannonball’ delved further into it while also noting that he wouldn’t be back in the ring any time soon.
“After all the money, time [and] emotions spent on getting my licence back, I’ve been informed it’s over for me as they are keeping with the four-year ban,” Cameron wrote when revealing the news on social media. “The judge says it’s very harsh of UKAD to do this to me and I was offered [a reduced ban of] 15 months to begin with, but there’s no chance. I’ll go down on my shield.”
Cameron leaves the sport with a ledger of 21-5 with nine quick and has already turned his attention to building a legacy outside of the ring.
“I have a full life ahead of me and I will get a gym and become a trainer,” he continued. “It’s been an amazing journey, [going] from a fat lad to ABA champion, IBO Youth champion, Commonwealth champion and IBF number 11.”
