Chantelle Cameron’s Challenge to Katie Taylor
Chantelle Cameron is urging Katie Taylor to either finalize their long-discussed trilogy bout or relinquish her titles. The two athletes have faced off twice in memorable contests within the year, with Taylor’s recent controversial victory over Amanda Serrano adding fuel to Cameron’s impatience.
Deadline for Decision
Addressing Taylor and her team, Cameron announced a new deadline of 14 days for a decision on whether they will agree to the fight or vacate the WBC 140-pound championship.
Cameron stated, “Today marked the deadline for a resolution between Katie’s team and mine, involving Most Valuable Promotions and associates like Nakisa Bidarian, Jake Paul, and Anto Fitzgerald. The expectation is clear: either accept the fight or give up the title. I’ve dedicated two years to reclaim my position since losing the title in our bout back in 2023, so this request is more than fair.”
This has been the second extension provided, and Cameron expressed hope that this lasts for just two more weeks before the belt is unclaimed. She noted, “It feels as though Katie and her team are hesitant about the rematch, which is their choice, but the 140-pound division needs to proceed.”
Previous Encounters and Future Aspirations
Cameron’s first bout with Taylor in Dublin marked a pivotal moment, as she handed the Irish superstar her first defeat. Taylor fought back in the rematch with a narrow decision win, before extending her rivalry with Serrano. Taylor’s knack for winning tight decisions has been noted consistently within boxing discussions.
Now, holding multiple titles at the super lightweight level, the question hangs over whether Taylor is ready to address their unresolved rivalry. If Taylor opts against completing the trilogy, Cameron intends to vie for the vacant title by the end of 2025, having secured her mandatory contender status. No matter what transpires, Cameron is determined to avoid further delays in the division’s progression.
