Katie Taylor continues to cement her legacy as one of the greatest female boxers in the history of the sport. The undisputed lightweight champion of the world is not scared to step inside the ring against any opponent.

Speaking to “Behind the Gloves,” Taylor revealed that she is ready to face the undefeated and current WBO light-welterweight champion of the world, Chantelle Cameron.

Taylor said, “I have heard similar things before, we fought as an amateur and I beat her as an amateur as well. Chantelle is obviously a great fighter. I am happy and willing to fight whoever. I don’t talk bad to anyone, and I guess my career has shown that.” 

Katie Taylor is coming off an impressive unanimous decision win over Miriam Gutiérrez in her second title defense for the undisputed lightweight strap. The two-weight world champion also holds the female junior-welterweight title, which she won against Christina Linardatou back in November 2019.

Taylor has remained quite active compared to her contemporaries, having fought twice in 2020 with back to back successful title defenses to her name. She remains undefeated in her professional boxing career and has all the makings of a future Hall of Famer.

Taylor and Chantelle fought each other during their amateur days. Taylor cruised past Chantelle in the semi-finals of the 2011 EU Championships.

Katie Taylor vs Chantelle Cameron promises to be an instant classic

Chantelle Cameron is not new to the sport of boxing. She is equally distinguished and reigns as a two-weight world champion with just 12 professional bouts to her name. Cameron is fresh off a unanimous decision win over the then-undefeated Adriana Araújo. In the process, she grabbed the vacant WBC female light-welterweight title to add to her IBO female lightweight title.

Katie Taylor is the undisputed lightweight champion. However, the IBO lightweight title is the only belt missing from the Irish boxer’s waist. Needless to say, Taylor could look to settle the debate of the greatest lightweight champion of the world with a win over Chantelle.
