Taylor VS Cameron
Eddie Hearn Aims To Make Katie Taylor vs Chantelle Cameron
Eddie Hearn is aiming to find undisputed female lightweight champion Katie Taylor a new opponent following the pullout of Amanda Serrano due to an undisclosed injury. Taylor herself has already picked out who she wants to face, Chantelle Cameron, the current undisputed female super-lightweight champion. Taylor wants to fight Cameron on May 20th in Dublin as per her agreed-on ring to return which on social media Cameron has already agreed to.
Eddie Hearn has confirmed that talks are now ongoing to see if the possible battle of the undisputed champions can be facilitated and has high hopes for the encounter. (speaking to the metro)
"Katie will fight anyone. I guess the only fighter there has ever been a question mark over whether she would fight her or not is Chantelle Cameron. But behind the scenes I know Taylor has always been up for that," Hearn told Metro.co.uk.
"Once Chantelle got in a position for that to be a mega fight, that’s the fight. Amanda Serrano is injured and not ready and I don’t think Katie wants to wait for that fight which could now be August or September. She wants the homecoming fight, let’s make it happen.
"Now we are in talks with DAZN to see if we can make it happen. Both sides have agreed, they haven’t agreed on the money yet but that is something we hope we will be able to overcome but I think there is a very good chance you see that fight on 20 May."
