UNBEATEN lightweight Cameron Vuong no longer wants to be a prospect and named the opponent he would like to face to take him to the next level.
The 22-year-old from Blyth moved to 6-0 (3 KOs) with an eight round points win (79-73) against Joe Underwood Hughes at Wembley Arena last night.
Vuong, trained by Jamie Moore, has seen two fights against Jordan Flynn – on April 13 and June 12 – fall through due to injury on both sides of the rivalry. After beating Hughes last night Vuong made his feelings clear about Flynn.
“Listen it’s never going to happen, the man is a p***y. He was offered the fight for November 30, he turned the fight down. He doesn’t want to know. That man, he’s only relevant because of me. He’s nothing without me. He’ll never fight on Matchroom again if it’s not me next.”
Vuong wants to move from prospect to contender and named a former British and European lightweight champion as a potential future opponent.
“Whoever, wherever. I’d love to box in Saudi. Someone like Gavin Gwynne. I feel like I’m due a step up. I don’t want to be a prospect anymore I want to be a contender. That wasn’t my best performance tonight and I’ll show it in the future god willing.”
Elsewhere on the three-fight card super-welterweight contender Chris Kongo got a runout against Jacob Quinn over six rounds winning 59-55 on referee Sean McAvoy’s card. And Aadam Hamed moved to 3-0 (1 KO) with a 40-36 shutout over Santiago Garces.
