That now means even if he beats Cameron, he cannot take the belt home.
Cameron said: "That must be demoralising for him. I don't know why he's come from Brighton if he knew that."
Promoter Dennis Hobson explained that if Jenman won the match tomorrow the belt would become vacant.
So Cameron will have to be at his best, he said against an opponent who took the fight as a late stand-in.
