Katie Taylor Defeats Chantelle Cameron to Become Two-Weight Undisputed Champion in Dublin
Katie Taylor edged past Briton Chantelle Cameron via majority decision in a thrilling light-welterweight title fight in Dublin. BBC 26 NOV 2023 Katie Taylor improved her record to 23-1 while Chantelle Cameron suffered her first defeat Ireland's Taylor avenged the only loss of her career in an extraordinary bout at 3Arena on Saturday to become a two-weight undisputed champion. Taylor almost hit the deck in the final seconds, but stayed on her feet in a crucial moment for the scorecards. One judge scored it a draw, while the other two were 98-92, 96-94 for Taylor. "Whoever wrote me off obviously doesn't know me very well," she said. "Let's get the trilogy at Croke Park." Fighting as the underdog for the first time in her career, Taylor joins Claressa Shields and Terence Crawford as the only two fighters to win undisputed championships in two different weights in the four-belt era. Cameron fell to a first defeat of her 19-fight pro career, relinquishing her IBF, WBA, WBO and WBC light-welterweight titles in the process. Taylor dubbed the bout her "real homecoming" and sent an already elated crowd into overdrive when she called for a deciding fight at the 80,000-seater Croke Park, the Gaelic games stadium which is also in the Irish capital. The 37-year-old retreated in fight week after heartbreak six months ago but produced one of the best performances of her career to seal what will surely go down as her greatest victory. |
