Former banned boxer Liam Cameron reaches one year sober
The boxer from Littledale in Sheffield celebrated his 33rd birthday and ‘one year sober’ on Saturday.
Mr Cameron said: “It was good but it was just a little goal. I’ll never drink again, that’s 100%.
“A year’s an achievement, but it’s just an ordinary day. It’s nice to say I’ve not drunk for a year.”
The Commonwealth Champion served a four year ban from the sport from 2018-2022 due to alleged ‘minute tracing of cocaine’ – which he unwaveringly denies.
