Chantelle Cameron, the former undisputed world champion, is on a collision course for a mandatory title shot. Her sights are set on the winner of the highly anticipated rematch between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano. Cameron, who handed Taylor her first professional defeat, is determined to avenge her subsequent loss to the Irish superstar. The Englishwoman had previously called for a deciding third fight against Taylor, but Taylor opted for a rematch with Amanda Serrano in America for the undisputed super-lightweight crown.
Cameron, however, has not been idle. She recently defended the WBC Interim belt at 140lbs with a dominant decision win over Patricia Berghult, a previous opponent of Natasha Jonas. Cameron’s victory has solidified her claim for a mandatory title shot, prompting her promoter Frank Warren to state confidently, “It’ll get ordered.” Warren sees this as a prime opportunity for Cameron, stating that, “Her path that we’re working on at the moment is to go for the full title obviously.”
Cameron, fueled by her recent success, is optimistic about securing another shot at the undisputed title. “I won’t get a shot for a long time if they can avoid me,” she declared. “I’m just hoping that I’ll get the chance to fight for [the undisputed title] again.” However, she acknowledges the unpredictable nature of boxing and the possibility of not getting another opportunity.
Beyond the immediate goal of the undisputed title, Cameron’s ambitions extend beyond the 140lbs division. Warren believes she has the potential to thrive at welterweight, potentially challenging IBF champion Natasha Jonas or WBO champion Mikaela Mayer. “I believe she could do that and if she wanted to do that we would back her,” Warren stated, expressing his confidence in Cameron’s abilities.
With a recent dominant victory and a clear plan moving forward, Chantelle Cameron is poised to make a strong statement in the boxing world. Her determination and talent make her a formidable force in the ring, and the boxing community eagerly awaits her next challenge.
