At the time of his death, Dunkin still guided the career of one champion in Philadelphia’s Jaron “Boots” Ennis, the IBF welterweight titleholder.

“RIP to my good friend and mentor Cameron Dunkin,” renowned trainer Robert Garcia, the older brother of Mikey Garcia, posted on social media. “The first person in boxing that believed in me as a trainer. … He saw something in me and believed in my work and even as an inexperienced coach he trusted.”

Dunkin was well-regarded for his ability to evaluate boxing talent. He worked with more than 30 champions during his time in the sport.
