Shane Cameron || Runners Only! Podcast with Dom Harvey
Episode Description
EP51 Runners Only! with Dom Harvey & Shane Cameron
Shane Cameron is one of New Zealand's best-known boxers. He is now a successful businessman.
Shane and I sat down for this podcast way back in January. Long before the podcast “Runners Only!” even launched. Being on the cusp of being an actual boomer, I lost this entire audio file and some others…or so I thought. They turned up the other day on an SD card (long born story).
Shane’s a good dude and I forgot how enjoyable our conversation was. We talk in-depth about the “fight of the century” against David Tua (and how long it took him to recover mentally from the beating), Dancing with the stars, life before and after boxing, the Commonwealth Games, and heaps more.
Please “subscribe” if your podcast platform allows it, and it’ll be on your phone on Monday morning when you wake up.
Here is the youtube link to THAT fight against David Tua which we discuss in detail:
