Its being circulated around Sheffield that talented Sheffield boxer Liam Cameron is now being trained by former World Light Heavyweight Champion Clinton Woods. Can someone either deny or confirm this please?

off topic, i think he should of tried getting in prizefighter with his ameteur skills and poor line up (apart from the human windmill) this would be very winnable for him i no he struggled with the weight but pfs always a few pounds over the limit, great way to get his career on track and raise his profile

First off all would like to say a massive thanks to chris smedley been with him since day one having 53 amatures winning 42 winning 2 senior titles I just feel i need a change nothing down to chris , I would say I have fort the best journey men in matt scriven on debut and alex spitko also dee mitchell, I am working very hard to prove what I am about and watch this space, my last fight was a poor performance everthing went wrong! But all my own fault erick is a good fighter

good luck pal a loss means nothing clinton will tell you that its how you come back, i know your dedicated and commited so onwards and upwards remember b hop lost on his debut he didnt go on to have a bad career

Liam to be fair a don't really know ya but being a Sheffield lad a no boxing is big in Sheffield Theres been some top top boxers Herol/BAnderson/Slugger/Nelson/Naz/Rhodesy/Whitter/Kell/Easham/Woods.prob forgot loads but av been to see a couple of ya fights and ya have got some natural talent which ya can't learn its in the blood so keep it up pal you can achieve big big things

Ha ha, quality

Liam, just curious - did you not consider moving on to one of the more experienced Sheffield trainers, such as Dom Ingle, Dave Coldwell? Not in any way a dig at Clinton - just wondering what made you go with him?

Also, Chris Smedley has been training kids for years and had a lot of success in the amateurs - it just seems strange that you'd leave a fella who'd brought you all the way and move on not to a more experienced or proven pro trainer, but to someone who in purely training terms is a bit of an unknown quality.

By the way, this is not a dig at Clinton at all. I was a MASSIVE fan of his when he was boxing and sincerely wish him all the best as a trainer

Mmm Clinton been there wore the tshirt he's had world title experience I don't fink u can beat that, he's was a allround pro that new every trick in the book,

Fair enough, good luck mate hope it works out for you and CLinton

I heard he was training light heavy Jamie Ward. Who's Jamie Mc?

Thing is Clinton had a text book boxing style which may suit Liam a bit more. The Ingle style is not suited to everyone
