Gavin Gwynne has spent 12 long months waiting to get Cameron Vuong back in the ring.

In November 2024, the 35-year-old former British, Commonwealth and European lightweight champion was handpicked as the man to take the talented but inexperienced Vuong to the next level.

After 10 hard fought rounds, the judges preferred Vuong’s boxing and eye-catching bursts to Gwynne’s relentless pressure and awarded the younger man a highly controversial unanimous decision.

The majority of observers believed that Gwynne had done more than enough to win the 139-pound catchweight fight.

On November 29, Gwynne gets the rematch he has campaigned for from the moment Vuong’s hand was raised. The fight will again take place over 10 rounds but this time the two will meet at 135-pounds. DAZN will broadcast the action from the NEC in Birmingham.

Since the fight, Gwynne (18-4-1, 5 KOs) has continued to tick over with his trainer, Gary Lockett, and notched up a routine six-round win in August but had to go back to work as a scaffolder while waiting for the call to come.

Believing he needed to freshen up his approach after stopping another long-time rival, Jordan Flynn, earlier this year, 23-year-old Vuong (9-0, 4 KOs) left Jamie Moore’s gym in Manchester and moved his operations south to the Ben Davison Performance Centre in Essex.

"Ben Davison knows and rates me," Gwynne told The Ring.

"I know he rates me because he always asks me to go up there and spar. I went up there and sparred just before I fought Cameron. I sparred with Royston Barney-Smith, a very good fighter and I rate him highly. He's seen me spar with him.

"Ben Davison knows how good I am. Let's just put it that way. He knows Cameron's gotta be 100% to beat me."

Although it would be a major surprise if either man made wholesale changes to their style, Davison's involvement does add an interesting dynamic to the high-stakes rematch.

Seeing Gwynne track down and work out a slick fighter like Barney-Smith may have given the analytical Davison an invaluable insight into the way Gwynne goes about his work but the Welshman is putting far more stock in the 10 rounds spent in the ring with Vuong.

He believes that any pre-fight tactics or plans will go out of the window once Vuong realises that he has another long, gruelling night ahead of him.

"I'm the type of fighter to give him hell seven days a week," Gwynne continued.

"I think I'm all wrong for Cameron, the type of fighter I am. I don't think he can fight someone like me. I’ve got that never give up, never die attitude sort of thing and I'll just keep trying until that bell rings."
