Katie Taylor is moving up two weight classes to face Chantelle Cameron, as she aspires to become the two-weight undisputed champion after this bout. Now, according to the plans, the undercard of Taylor vs. Cameron was supposed to have seven fights, but according to some undue circumstances, it has been reduced to just six fights. As one of the undercard fights, Cecilia Brækhus vs. Terri Harper has been canceled because Brækhus has caught the flu and is not in the condition to face Harper right now.

At the Weigh-In, Brækhus gave the news on her Twitter that she was feeling “great” but then this Saturday morning, she felt all the flu-like symptoms, which stopped her from participating in the upcoming fight. She was supposed to challenge Harper for her WBA junior middleweight title. It was quite a big stage too, as this was the first boxing event in seven years in the country of Ireland. For their fight, Taylor has been training with the UFC legend Conor McGregor and even shared her experience with the fans.
