Katie Taylor Vs Chantelle Cameron in Historic Dublin Homecoming

Dublin, Ireland – Irish boxing superstar Katie Taylor is set to make history on May 20th as she faces off against Chantelle Cameron in a highly anticipated homecoming bout at Dublin’s 3Arena. The undisputed lightweight world champion will be moving up in weight to take on England’s Chantelle Cameron, the undisputed junior welterweight title holder.

The fight has been long-awaited and proven to be controversial, with Taylor’s promoter Eddie Hearn unable to deliver on his promise of a Croke Park date for the champion’s first pro bout on home soil. The original opponent, Amanda Serrano, pulled out due to injury, leaving the card up in the air. However, the fight night is now very much back on, and Taylor will be creating history in the process.

This will be Cameron’s first time defending the undisputed title, which she claimed after a victory over Jessica McCaskill in Abu Dhabi late last year. The 31-year-old Cameron is 17-0 with eight knockouts and is expected to give Taylor a tough test.

“Once Serrano pulled out, this was the natural fight to make,” said Taylor. “It’s two undefeated, reigning undisputed world champions going up against each other, and I believe that’s the first time that’s ever happened in the modern era of the sport.”
