According to DAZN, promoter Eddie Hearn is planning a third fight between world junior welterweight champion Katie Taylor (pictured) and former world champion Chantelle Cameron. DAZN's report, which cited Boxing Social as the original source, says Hearn is still looking for the right venue. In November of last year, Taylor produced the performance of her career to gain revenge over Cameron via majority decision in Dublin. Taylor entered the fight as an underdog after Cameron defeated her back in May, but Taylor improved from the first meeting to win the rematch, 98-92, 96-94 and 95-95. The win made Taylor a two-division undisputed world champion, adding junior welterweight supremacy to her lightweight laurels. Taylor began brilliantly as her fast flurries repeatedly scored in the opening rounds, but she had to survive a minor scare when she was dropped with the referee saying she was off balance and ruling it a slip. [Had that been ruled a knockdown, Cameron would have remained champion].  Cameron was badly cut in the fight’s third session and that made her approach a bit more reckless, but the wound didn’t stop the Northampton fighter from giving it her all.  In the fight’s second half, Taylor kept doing just enough to stay ahead and with the crowd on their feet in the closing stages, both fighters continued to go at it until the final bell.  In the fight’s immediate aftermath, Taylor and Hearn signalled that a third meeting could take place at Croke Park in 2024. 

The first meeting was held in May of last year, also in Dublin. Cameron retained her world 140-pound championship by defeating Taylor, the reigning world lightweight champion, by decision. The official scores were 95-95 and two cards of 96-94 for Cameron. The final Punchstat numbers also favored Cameron, crediting her with 141 punches landed to Taylor's 111. Cameron (18-0) has won six straight championship bouts but this was easily the biggest win of her career, even bigger than when she defeated world welterweight champion Jessica McCaskill (at junior welterweight). Taylor (22-1) suffered her first career loss but remains the undisputed ruler of the women's 135-pound category.
