Kieron Conway was keeping a close eye on the first week of Matchroom Fight Camp. He knew his time was coming a fortnight later, but he also knew his name remained latched on to the man in the main event.
Ted Cheeseman was expected to comfortably dispose of Conway, 22, when the unknown Northamptonshire fighter was drafted in to fight for his British light-middleweight title last June.
Instead, Conway left his first ever 12-round professional bout feeling aggrieved that a draw had cost him the title. Cheeseman has since lost the British title to Scott Fitzgerald but snapped a three-fight winless run in a war with Sam Eggington on the first Fight Camp card on August 1.
