British boxing champion Cam Shaw has been confirmed dead as he reportedly drowned aged 25 while snorkelling on the Great Barrier Reef in Australia.
Reports from sources state that the New York-born Shaw was on holiday in Cairns with his girlfriend and was on an organised expedition at the time of his death on Monday.

The boxer was described as “a strong swimmer” by dad Rod, with the family awaiting the outcome of an investigation.
“He was a strong swimmer – I taught him to swim at Water World in York when he was aged two and a half and he reached up to nine out of a possible eleven levels.”
May His Soul Rest in Peace.
Heard today that #York boxer Cam Shaw (4-0) has sadly died over in Cairns, Australia. His #boxing career had stalled since 2019, with Cam becoming a ski instructor. He was a lovely lad, very talented with a superb amateur career, but even more so a great attitude to life. RIP 🙏🏻 pic.twitter.com/KOL8VMXkke
