LIAM CAMERON has dramatically transformed his body and career after making a heroic boxing comeback.
Cameron was handed a surprisingly lengthy FOUR-YEAR ban after testing positive for cocaine following his 2018 victory over Nick Jenman.
The former Commonwealth middleweight champion – now up at light-heavyweight – spiralled into depression during his suspension.
Cameron also tragically lost his step daughter Tiegan due to a road accident in 2021.
He told the BBC last June: “I was basically killing myself with alcohol.
“I can remember three years ago having no electric in the house and being that skint. Having drink problems. Losing Tiegan in a tragic death.

“That absolutely destroyed the family. To bounce back from that stuff, it shows you what my character is.”
But Cameron did return in 2023 – over five years after his last fight – to start his road to redemption after also going sober.
He won three on the spin before losing a title fight against Lyndon Arthur last June.
Cameron then faced Olympic silver medalist Ben Whittaker in October, ending in a controversial draw.

Ahead of their rematch on Easter Sunday – Cameron has shown off his sensational body transformation.
He posted: “1 year 9months exactly! Same place, past & (today). I Didn’t have a clue where this journey would take me.
“But I do now nothing is impossible if you put your mind to it my life is now changed forever.
“Every failure every setback every lost has brought me to this moment to show everyone that you can change.”
Cameron’s first fight with Whittaker was in Saudi Arabia six months ago.
Both bizarrely went over the top rope and injured Whittaker was deemed unable to continue boxing.
So the five completed rounds prematurely went to the judges scorecards – where it resulted in a draw.
The rematch is also marred in controversy with Cameron having been sent a contract for 12 rounds while Whittaker’s was for ten.
And the dispute is still yet to be resolved with just four days to go until the fight.
