Undisputed junior welterweight champion Chantelle Cameron is expecting to defend her crown against Katie Taylor in a year-end rematch.
Back in May, Cameron handed Taylor her first career defeat by way of a ten round decision in Dublin.
In the aftermath of the fight, the 37-year-old Taylor would exercise an immediate rematch clause.
The second fight is being targeted for the month of May.
However, Cameron was hoping to drop down in weight to challenge Taylor for her undisputed crown at lightweight.
“It’s looking like [the rematch] will be for my belts again,” Cameron told the BBC Radio 5 Live boxing podcast.
“I’d rather it wasn’t, but if I have to go back then I have to go back.”
Cameron has a goal of becoming an undisputed world champion in two weight classes.
“I wanted to challenge myself this time and go for a new weight division to become undisputed. I defended my belt against [Jessica] McCaskill who was [the welterweight] undisputed champion,” Cameron said.
“She didn’t want to give me the rematch and they didn’t want to see the fight again so that was fair enough. I then put my belts on the line against Katie Taylor, beat her and set myself a challenge to go at lightweight which I think I’m better at as well.”
Cameron’s trainer, Jamie Moore, would love a scenario where all of the titles – at 135 and 140 – are at stake in the rematch.
“We understand that Katie wants to reverse the decision and become undisputed at another weight. But why can’t we do all the belts? That way everyone is a winner. Chantelle gets the chance to be a two-weight world champion and so does Katie,” Moore said.
