Big upset! Katie Taylor vs. Chantelle Cameron: Full results and highlights

Today we were treated to an epic battle between Katie Taylor and Chantelle Cameron. The fight aired on DAZN. The card transpired from the 3Arena in Dublin, Ireland. Start time was 7PM BST — 2PM/11AM ETPT (Saturday, May 20th, 2023).

Undisputed lightweight champion, Irishwoman Katie Taylor (22-0, 6 KOs), 36, made her long-awaited homecoming to Dublin this weekend, with 16 professional world title fights under her belt since she left home to train in Connecticut, USA, back in 2016. Taylor was set to take on Amanda Serrano, but the latter sustained an injury.

Matchroom Promotions lined Katie up against Chantelle ‘El Capo’ Cameron (17-0, 8 KOs), a fellow undisputed champion. The IBF, WBA, WBC, WBO and IBO women’s light welterweight titles were on the line at the 3Arena in Dublin, amidst what was a cacophony of crowd noise. To celebrate her homecoming, Taylor planned to secure her title of undisputed champion at a second weight class by moving up to clash with Cameron in the ring. However, Cameron saw an entirely different outcome.
