New Zealand Shane Cameron boxer will appear in the ring for the first time since last November, when he takes on undefeated Australian Brad Pitt in an IBO cruiserweight title

Pitt, with a 13-0 record, won a gold medal at the 2006 Commonweath Games and at 1.88m is same height as Cameron but has a slighty longer reach.

Pitt's last fight was on the undercard of Cameron's bout against Danny Green, and he knocked out his opponent Mosese Sorovi in a second round TKO

Cameron says they'd like the fight to take place sometime this year but don't yet have a venue.

The bout is a world title eliminator and the vacant commonwealth cruiserweight title will also be put up.
