Katie Taylor clinches undisputed super-lightweight title in epic rematch against Chantelle Cameron

Posted : 26 November 2023

Katie Taylor secured victory and became the new undisputed world super-lightweight champion in a thrilling rematch against Chantelle Cameron at Dublin's 3Arena. The fight, a redemption for Taylor after her first career loss to Cameron in May, ended in a majority points decision. Two judges scored it 98-92, 96-94 in favor of Taylor, while a third judge declared it a 95-95 draw. The win makes Taylor a simultaneous two-weight undisputed champion, joining an elite group of fighters to hold championships in two different weight classes in the four-belt era.

 

In an aggressive start, Taylor asserted her dominance from the first round, despite a brief moment where she hit the canvas following a jab from Cameron, ruled as a slip. A clash of heads in the third round opened a cut on Cameron's forehead. As the bout progressed, Cameron gained momentum, landing a strong right hand in the fifth round, prompting a change in Taylor's tactics. The eighth round saw Cameron deliver a punishing uppercut, briefly unsettling Taylor before the bell.

 

Facing significant pressure in the ninth and 10th rounds, Taylor showcased remarkable resilience to withstand Cameron's attacks. The home crowd erupted in celebration as the judges declared Taylor the winner. Post-fight, Taylor expressed her desire for a trilogy, calling for a third bout with Cameron. The Irish champion sees the potential trilogy as an iconic moment for the sport, drawing inspiration from legendary trilogies like Barrera vs. Morales. Taylor envisions the historic matchup taking place at Croke Park with a crowd of 80,000, delivering a statement for her homecoming.

 

For Cameron, it was her first career loss, relinquishing her IBF, WBA, WBO, and WBC light-welterweight titles. Despite the defeat, the bout showcased the skill and determination of both fighters, setting the stage for a potential historic trilogy in the future.
