Will Tua vs Cameron be counted among the top boxing events in New Zealand history?
New Zealand has not seen a boxing event of this magnitude for a long time. Boxing historian Dave Cameron believes “the David Tua vs Shane Cameron match will be the biggest in New Zealand's boxing history. If you take the live event audience plus the crowds watching in bars throughout the country and at home - all attendance records will be broken. David Tua's amazing record of beating four World Champions (future and past) John Ruiz---Michael Moorer---Hasim Rachman and Oleg Maskiev and Shane’s great record of taking his fights around the country have ensured that this bout will be the greatest in our history.” Noted Australian boxing promoter Khoder Nasser said: “The excitement around Tua-Cameron will be incredible. That’s a fight that would excite anyone who has even just a limited knowledge of boxing. It matches the two best heavyweights in New Zealand and brings together a heavyweight clash of the likes that we haven’t seen in this part of the world for about 20 years.”

And it’s a chance for us to put on a show for boxing that no one will ever forget. I am grateful to Shane Cameron for blessing me with this opportunity to beat him up, punish him and hurt him.”
