Chantelle Cameron spoils Katie Taylor’s homecoming bout with sensational points victory in Dublin
Chantelle Cameron spoiled the party in Dublin as he became the first fighter to beat Katie Taylor as a professional and defended her undisputed light-welterweight crown. In a fight between two undefeated, undisputed fighters, and in Taylor’s first professional bout in her native Ireland, the ten rounds flew by as the pair exchanged right through to the final bell, with Cameron relentless in putting the pressure on the home favourite. The step up in weight proved to be too great a challenge for Taylor, with Cameron getting the decision by majority decision - 96-94 on two cards and a 95-95 draw on the other - to keep hold of her titles and cement herself as one of the very best in women’s boxing.
