Cameron vs. Taylor II &
Undercard
Final Press Conference Quotes |

Eddie Hearn: “We are
so happy to be back in Dublin, last time was good, this
Saturday is going to be unbelievable. We are lucky to be
part of something that is going to be very special, to
everybody involved from the media to our team at
Matchroom and of course to the fighters, you guys and
girls have got a wonderful opportunity on Saturday
night, live around the world on DAZN, to defend titles,
to move into World championship positions, to maybe even
move into future contracts with Matchroom and DAZN, and
it’s all culminating in a main event that is just
breathtaking. Chantelle Cameron was superb last time and
is defending her undisputed 140lb title against the
legend Katie Taylor. Last time, Gary Cully suffered
defeat and then so did Katie, and it was almost like
‘that’s it’ for us in Ireland. But a few months on we’re
back in a sold-out 3Arena with an even better card
stacked with action, so many great fights and great
fighters on display.”

Undercard Press Conference |

Frank Smith, Matchroom
Boxing CEO: "Shabaz Masoud has obviously had a lot
of time out of the ring but he's coming back into a
proper fight. It's what we need. We want you to come
back into a proper fight, especially in the position
he's in. He's highly ranked with the WBA not far off
challenging for a World Title. As a team everyone
believes that's where he deserves to be and where he
should be. I don't think he's far off that. He's got to
come through Saturday night. This is the kind of fight
he needs after the period of time he's had out. It would
be worthless going back into an eight-round warm up
fight. He needs this kind of fight. He's been in the gym
as he said throughout. Obviously the delay was
unfortunate but it's good to get it back on so quickly."
