British lightweight contender
Cameron Vuong should seek to banish any doubts about his mettle by rematching Gavin Gwynne next.
That's according to the 22-year-old's promoter, Eddie Hearn, who discussed options in conversation with the youngster's manager Sam Jones a month after winning WBO European honours March 28 in a
long-anticipated showdown with Jordan Flynn.
"I think so, I told Sam in Sheffield, it's a dangerous fight for him but I believe he's going to win more convincingly this time and yeah, he should do the rematch next," he told The Ring.
Vuong (8-0, 4 KOs) first dropped then-unbeaten Flynn in round three, before a barrage of punches - punctuated by an uppercut - saw referee Howard Foster mercifully step in to stop the contest four rounds later.
The stoppage victory was his first since February 2024, having been a comfortable points winner against Jeff Ofori and Joe Underwood Hughes preceding his gutcheck matchup against nine-year pro Gwynne on November 30.
Many felt this to be ambitious matchmaking little over a year into his pro career and while opinions were split over the scorecards, the overwhelming consensus was the Welshman could count himself unfortunate not to get the nod that night.
Jones told The Ring in January that talk of a rematch being agreed
was premature, after the veteran suggested such on social media - provided both won interim bouts in the meantime.
Former British, Commonwealth and EBU European lightweight titleholder Gwynne (17-4-1, 5 KOs) turned 35 last month and hasn't returned since the narrow 10-round defeat by Vuong.
Having watched his former foe's emphatic comeback fight as an interested spectator, suffice to say he wasn't entirely impressed given how easily Flynn tagged him with punches in the early rounds.
"Going off that performance, he's gonna have to up it again because the first couple of rounds, he lost again,"
he told The Ring last month.
"I think he's too easy to hit and in the first fight, I gave him a little bit too much respect. When it happens again now, I know he can't punch, so that's one thing I was saying to Gary [Lockett, his trainer] after the fight. It was just the speed he was delivering the shots. He was catching me and making the judges think he was with big shots, but they weren't."
Gwynne has stayed busy in the gym and will hope this extended time away serves him well under Gary Lockett, while Vuong opted for a change of scenery himself down south after linking up as part of Ben Davison's packed stable as
was exclusively revealed last week.
