Despite missing out on a rematch with Amamda Serrano later this year, Katie Taylor is still aiming high as she’s issued a challenge to Chantelle Cameron.
Taylor had been scheduled to face Serrano in an eagerly anticipated bout on May 20 in Dublin, but those plans are now on hold with Serrano sustaining an injury in camp.
With the event seemingly being put on hold until later in the year, Taylor has shaken boxing fans by insisting on the date remaining the same but with Cameron in the opposite corner.
The Northampton fighter became undisputed ruler at super-lightweight last November by defeating Jessica McCaskill and it appears she’s ready to answer Taylor’s proposal.
“Let’s get it done Eddie Hearn,” wrote Taylor on Instagram.
“This homecoming has waited long enough! Three Arena is available so let’s give Ireland a night to remember on 20 May.
“Let’s go champion Chantelle Cameron, happy to move up in weight for the opportunity to become a two weight Undisputed champ.”
Cameron offered a swift reply, "Like you, I only want to fight the best. I'm not difficult to deal with so this fight can be signed, sealed, and delivered in 24hours.”
