Taylor says Cameron fight is biggest of career

PA Media

Katie Taylor says her next fight against world light-welterweight champion Chantelle Cameron in May is the biggest challenge of her stellar career as she bids to remain unbeaten and become a two-weight undisputed world champion in her first professional fight in her home country in Dublin. “It’s incredible that after 22 fights I’m finally making my homecoming fight. Big-time boxing is coming back to Ireland and not with just an ordinary fight, it’s two undisputed champions going head-to-head.” Taylor challenged Northampton’s unbeaten Cameron via social media earlier this month after Puerto Rican Amanda Serrano had pulled out of a scheduled rematch due to injury. Taylor said: “I think this could be another fight of the year contender, but ultimately I do have more experience. I’m going to be mentally and physically more prepared than ever.”
