Cameron to face Berghult today in UK

Britain’s Chantelle Cameron (19-1) will defend her WBC interim junior welterweight title against Sweden's Patricia Berghult (17-1) today (November 2nd) in Birmingham, England. A former world lightweight champion, Cameron (pictured) split two fights with boxing superstar Katie Taylor in 2023. After defeating Taylor in March, she lost the rematch in November. In her 2024 comeback, Cameron beat Elhem Mekhaled to claim the WBC interim crown. Berghult previously held the WBC junior middleweight title but lost it to Natasha Jonas in September 2022. Since then, she has only fought twice. Berghult returned on September 7th, after 18 months out of action, to defeat Vaida Masiokaite (10-25-5) in a fight she dominated. This Friday, both fighters passed the weigh-in without problems. Cameron registered 139.7 poundss, while Berghult came in at 138.2.
