Chantelle Cameron Rematches Katie Taylor
At The 3arena In Dublin On Nov. 25
Chantelle Cameron returns to the Lion’s Den to put her
undisputed Super-Lightweight World Titles on the line for a
second time against Irish legend Katie Taylor at the 3Arena
in Dublin on Saturday November 25, live worldwide on DAZN.
Northampton’s Cameron (18-0, 8 KOs) handed undisputed
Lightweight World Champion Taylor the first defeat of her
career to remain undisputed ruler at 140lbs when they met on
an historic night at the sold-out 3Arena in Dublin back in
May.
Despite coming into the fight defending her belts, Cameron
was seen as a major underdog for Taylor’s first fight in
Ireland in her seven-year professional career – but the
32-year-old Brit stunned the home crowd by scoring a
majority decision win over their hero.
The bout lived up to the huge expectation as both fighters
left everything in the ring in front of a deafening partisan
crowd, but after ten close rounds, Cameron was a worthy
winner and cemented her place as one of the best female
fighters on the planet.
“Last time out I pulled off one of the best ever away wins
against the best female fighter on the planet,” said
Cameron. “To go over to Ireland for her homecoming with my
belts on the line and beat her was a brilliant experience,
but beating her on November 25 will surpass that as I know
what to expect now.
“I’ve boxed at that high level with a huge amount of
pressure on me and the crowd against me. Going into November
25 I’m more than prepared this time. I know what it feels
like now and I’m going to go in there with more aggression
and energy and I’m confident of getting the job done in
better fashion.
“I’m going to be a lot better in the rematch. In the gym
we’re correcting mistakes that I’ve made. There were little
things that I was doing during the first fight that led to
me being headbutted a lot – that’s why my face was very
bruised up at the end of the fight.
“Going back to Ireland to beat Katie Taylor twice in a row
will show that it wasn’t just a lucky night for me and an
off night for Katie. I said it last time – I think I’m all
wrong for Katie. I’m too big, I’m too strong and my will to
win is too strong. I’m going to be there all night long.
Katie picked the wrong fighter to fight.”
“I'm delighted the rematch has been made and really can't
wait for another huge night in November,” said Taylor. “I
relish challenges like this and these are the occasions I
live for.”
“Strap yourselves in for another electric night at the
3Arena in Dublin as Chantelle Cameron and Katie Taylor run
it back for Super-Lightweight supremacy on Saturday November
25,” said Matchroom Sport Chairman Eddie Hearn. “The
atmosphere inside that arena was one of the loudest and most
special that I’ve ever experienced in all my years in this
sport and I expect November 25 to be even better.
"Last time out Chantelle Cameron proved that she in one of
the very best female fighters on the planet by handing Katie
Taylor her first loss in the professional ranks. Katie will
be desperate to avenge that loss but Chantelle is determined
to prove that it wasn’t a one off. Don’t miss this one, live
and exclusive around the world on DAZN.”
"Another massive fight to add to our ever growing autumn
schedule”, said Alfie Sharman, VP, DAZN. “There is nothing
more dangerous than a motivated Katie Taylor and after being
defeated for the very first time in her pro career to a
modern day great in Chantelle Cameron I am expecting
fireworks. Tune in November 25 to watch live and exclusive
only on DAZN.”
