Chantelle Cameron and Matchroom Boxing part ways

FORMER undisputed female super-lightweight champion Chantelle Cameron is now without a promoter.

The 32-year-oldโ€™s time working with Eddie Hearn and Matchroom Boxing came to an official end yesterday (May 1) when the promotional outfit released a statement on Twitter/X.

Their mutual parting of ways brings a second change to Cameronโ€™s career after she announced in February that she would no longer be trained by Jamie Moore and had moved to Grant Smithโ€™s gym in Sheffield. Moore and co-trainer Nigel Travis worked together to help take Cameron to undisputed glory in November 2022 when the Northampton fighter beat Jessica McCaskill

Six months later โ€œIl Capoโ€ would top that by beating Katie Taylor on her own turf at the 3Arena in Dublin. The career-best performance saw Cameron retain her four titles but in November last year, at the same venue, Taylor got her revenge levelling their rivalry at 1-1.

A trilogy bout looked a strong possibility but instead Taylor, 37, decided to face another former adversary โ€“ Amanda Serrano โ€“ in a rematch of their April 2022 thriller at Madison Square Garden in New York. Their fight will see Taylor defend her super-lightweight belts at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas and will be broadcast live on Netflix.

Taylorโ€™s decision has left Cameron needing to look elsewhere for an opponent but first she needs a new promoter. Boxing News understands a decision on her future will be announced soon.
