New Zealand boxer Shane Cameron is aiming to drop from the heavyweight to cruiserweight division in order to secure a fight with Australian boxer Danny Green.
 
'Mountain Warrior' Cameron wants to fight Green who calls himself the 'The warrior of Australian boxing'  later this year for the IBO cruiserweight and IBF Pan-Pacific light-heavyweight world championship belts.

32-year-old Cameron needs to shed seven kilos to get down to 90.7 kilograms required for the cruiserweight division.
 
"I'm not the biggest heavyweight around, so I'm able to drop the weight,"  Cameron said.
 
Dropping down to cruiserweight, Cameron won't change his fighting style.
 
"I'm still going to be aggressive, I'll be stronger," he said.

Before facing Green, Cameron aims to fight in an undercard fight to Green in July.

37-year-old Green’s last fight was in April when he knocked out the unfancied Manny Siaca.

Cameron won his last fight in March, against Australian boxer John Hopoate, after Hopoate was disqualified in the second round.

This is frustrating as a danny green fan. Not to take anything away from Shane Cameron, I find Danny green has gone backwards after the exposure he received from defeating roy jones jnr. He's almost done a mundine here, why doesn't he challenge another title holder and try and unify ? Please explain danny
