Cameron “The One” Vuong (9-0, 4 KOs) faces his hardest ever opponent Gavin Gwynne (18-4-1, 5 KOs) for a second time this Saturday night, on November 29, in Birmingham, live on DAZN.
An Elite National Amateur champion, Vuong’s pro career is blossoming very quickly. He has only been pro for a little over two years, but has already won titles, defeated notable champions, came up trumps in a fierce grudge match, and is now about to experience his first rematch.
Vuong kicked off his paid career with a fourth-round stoppage in October 2023 on the undercard of Wood-Warrington in Sheffield. He was back in the ring twice more before the end of the year, winning three fights within nine weeks of his pro bow.
Trained by Jamie Moore and Nigel Travers, Vuong kickstarted 2024 with a KO over a Midlands Area champion, Ishmael Ellis, his second opponent with a winning record; then he decisioned a Southern Area champion in Jeff Ofori over 10 rounds.
To begin his second year as a pro, he jumped way up to take on former British, Commonwealth and European lightweight champion, Gavin Gwynne. In just his seventh fight, Vuong narrowly decisioned the Welshman 96-95, 96-94, 97-94, but not without controversy. Gwynne was aggressive and pressing, forcing the action in the middle rounds especially, as Vuong countered and potshotted on the back foot, but the youngster’s early lead and strong finish was enough to take the decision, despite some calls of robbery.
Then he had bad blood to take care of in the form of fierce rival Jordan Flynn in May this year. The bitter enemies had been going back and forth for some time, but when it came to settling their differences in the ring, it was Vuong who bagged bragging rights with a powerful seventh-round stoppage.
The convincing, concussive victory was rewarded with a WBO European lightweight title, his first belt collected as a pro.
His last outing was in September against Argentinian journeyman, Facundo Arce, picking up a routine shutout points win.
His rematch with Gwynne takes place at super-lightweight over 10 rounds, the same format and weight as before, which took place a year ago.
Now 35, the experienced Welshman went from winning British and European lightweight titles with two KOs in 2023 to losing to two unbeaten prospects in 2024.
The Merthyr Tydfil warrior won the Welsh Area lightweight title in his eighth bout in 2017, then he saw two British title challenges thwarted by Joe Cordina (UD) in 2019, then by James Tennyson (TKO 7) in 2020.
Undeterred, he bounced back in 2021 to claim the Commonwealth crown against unbeaten lightweight Sean McComb, which kicked off a sensational six-fight winning streak over opponents with a combined record of 98-13.
After wining the British title in 2022, he defended it to Craig Woodruff twice, firstly retaining the belt after a draw in 2022, then stopping his fellow Welshman decisively in 2023 in the fifth-round.
His European title win over 42-0 Italian Emiliano Marsili was slightly fortunate for him that the visitor injured his shoulder and retired after eight tough rounds, even though Marsili was ahead on two of the scorecards.
2024 was a write-off for Gwynne, losing both his bouts to younger prospects, 26-year-old Mark Chamberlain and 23-year-old Vuong, now trained by Ben Davison in Essex.
A routine six-round points win over an English journeyman in August takes Gwynne into this rematch with a bit of momentum behind him. And he’s going to need it against ‘The One’ who is 12 years his junior.
Gwynne was adamant he won the first fight, calling it a robbery immediately after the decision. Those interviews displaying his dismay were voiced by a man with two swollen, black and red eyes, looking markedly marked up.
Vuong is the one that’s gradually gaining experience, growing in strength and approaching his prime years, whereas Gwynne has had his best days now aged 35.
Vuong is stylish, slick, sharp, quick, fluid, loose, powerful, young, fresh. Gwynne is rugged, aggressive, tough, durable, relentless, busy, energetic, pressurising, powerful, unpredictable.
Gwynne is best at close range where he can let loose with constant hooks keeping up a high pace and pressure to break down his opponents with an unrelenting workrate, whereas Vuong is best at longer range where he can land sharp jabs, straight shots and then pivot off away from danger and engagement.
In his second fight with Ben Davison and his new team, I believe the young buck will beat the old guard more convincingly this time, by sticking to a good game plan, staying disciplined behind his jab to land his shots then back up and move laterally. Constantly moving and keeping the distance is the key to outboxing Gwynne, who wants his opponents cornered and backed up to the ropes to do his best work.
If Vuong is as sharp as he usually his, using his feet to keep the distance and avoid being smothered on the ropes or pressured too dangerously by Gwynne, then I can see Cameron winning the 10-round contest with his superior skill, speed and movement; possibly even by late stoppage if he marks up his man badly enough like he did last time they met.
I would sway towards a points win for Cameron Vuong, with the potential for a late stoppage if he lands cleanly and copiously to cause enough facial damage.
Prediction: Vuong to win
Extra Tip: Vuong to win by KO/TKO 6-10
Add Ben Whittaker to win by KO against Benjamin Gavazi in the WBC Silver light-heavyweight title main event fight to receive even better odds.

Tim Rickson is the WhichBookie boxing analyst who joined the team midway through 2022 and will be providing boxing betting tips throughout the year for all of the big fights.
All of the boxing tips currently published on WhichBookie are completely free of charge. Remember to check back regularly and subscribe to our social media channels to be notified of when new free boxing tips are published.
Yes. All tips remain live here on WhichBookie. You can view all past boxing tips here on this page.
If you’d like to back any of the selections, we recommend a bookmaker to do so with. These are usually the bookies offering the best odds on the selection at the time of posting the tip but it may be worth checking other bookies in case the odds have changed. There may also be betting offers associated with the tip that are only available with specific bookmakers that are worth taking into consideration.
We never recommend an actual stake to use for each bet as this will vary between people depending on the size of their betting bank. Never bet more than you can afford to lose and always stick to your staking plan.
WhichBookie boxing analyst Tim Rickson will publish tips whenever he finds value in a bet. If there is a big fight coming up, it’s likely that he will cover it but generally, they’ll be posted whenever a good bet comes about.
Many of the big boxing matches are only available via Pay Per View. However, you may be able to find streams of some of the less-popular fights via the Bet365 Live Streaming service. Bet365 provides over 100,000 live streams of sporting events every year and is regarded as one of the best services for streaming sports online without charge.
There are several options when it comes to betting on boxing, and the more you know, the better your chances of success. We will now go into more detail about some of the different betting markets that you will find, and discuss a few potential strategies you could use.
As with most sports, the outright market is probably the simplest, because you’re just betting on who will win the fight. There are no other criteria to consider, other than the fact that with many of the best bookies for boxing, you can also bet on the draw. However, draws in boxing are very rare and not many people tend to back this outcome.
Bear in mind that in many fights, one boxer tends to be a heavy favourite and it’s usually quite easy to pick the winner. There don’t tend to be that many shock results. Therefore, the odds on the favourite are often very low, even if you use the bookie with the best odds as described earlier in the article.
If you’re happy betting at short odds, you can certainly get a good success rate simply by backing short price favourites in boxing. But many people prefer to look for bigger wins. So you may sometimes need to look at some of the other markets to get a better return on your bet.
This market lets you choose not only who will win the fight, but how they will win. Different methods of victory are usually grouped as follows:
So because there are more possible outcomes in this market, the odds are higher than just the outright win market.
The Round Betting market offers the opportunity to get the highest odds. Here you can bet on which fighter will win, and which round he/she will win in.
Options to bet on a fighter to win on points, or to bet on the draw, are both also included in this market. In a 12 round bout, that gives 27 different possible outcomes. Therefore, the odds on each one are naturally going to be much higher. Think of it as the equivalent of the correct score market in football betting.
So the round betting market offers the biggest potential wins when betting on boxing. But of course, it’s harder to predict the outcome. You do have the option to split your stake to cover more than one outcome though. So if you felt that a fighter would win within the first 3 rounds, you could split your stake to back him to win in round 1, round 2 and round 3. The odds would mean you’d get a good profit if any of those outcomes happened.
This is a simple market in which you decide whether the fight will last all 12 rounds or not. Therefore there are only two outcomes to bet on, Yes or No.
It’s possible to get a decent success rate when betting on this market. Check the stats and the history of each boxer and ask yourself the following:
The answers to these key questions should give you a good idea of whether the fight is likely to go the distance or not. There can still be surprises, but you’ll certainly win more bets than you lose.
This market allows you to bet on the total number of rounds the fight will last for. The advantage here is that you do not need to specify who will win, just how long it will last.
For example, let’s consider a market of Over/Under 3.5 Rounds. There are only two options to bet on, either Over 3.5 Rounds or Under 3.5 Rounds. Therefore, you would approach the market as follows:
You will find that similar markets are available for Over/under 4.5, Over/Under 5.5, Over/Under 6.5 etc.
As any professional punter will tell you, the key to making a profit is not knowing who will win every time. Because obviously, that is not possible. The real trick is making sure that when you do win, you get the best possible odds on your bet.
We studied the odds for outright bets on every professional boxing match over a period of three months. We wanted to find the best bookies for boxing odds over a prolonged period of time.
As you would expect, Betfair and Bet365 are better than most of the competition. But the results showed that Betfred have the highest odds overall and came out well in some of the other markets like round betting.
Betfred were consistently best or equal best odds on nearly every outright market we recorded. They blew some of the other online bookies away in terms of the value they offered on boxing, and their user ratings are good too. So if you don’t have an account with them yet, we would definitely recommend joining.
