Cameron Makes History as Two-Weight World Champion, Calls Out Mayer for Next Fight

Chantelle Cameron has become a two-weight world champion after securing a unanimous decision victory over Michaela Kotaskova to claim the vacant WBO super-welterweight title. Immediately after her win, Cameron called for a fight with Mikaela Mayer, a fellow two-weight world champion, and faced off with the American star in the ring. Cameron expressed her respect for Mayer, stating that she has wanted to fight her for a long time and believes their bout would be a great fight for women's boxing. Cameron, a former undisputed world champion at 140lbs and the only professional fighter to have defeated Katie Taylor, was competing in the super-welterweight division for the first time and won the fight with a unanimous decision, 100-90 and 99-91 twice, after 10 three-minute rounds. She applied consistent pressure to her Czech opponent, using targeted body work to drain Kotaskova's energy and force her to back away. Cameron's victory sets her up for a potential fight with Mayer, and she is eager to give the fans a great fight for women's boxing. In other fights, Irma Garcia defended her IBF super-flyweight title by defeating Emma Dolan in three rounds, while Shannon Courtenay continued her comeback trail with a three-round stoppage victory over Sasha Booker. Courtenay is now seeking a rematch with Ebanie Bridges, whom she beat in 2021 to win the WBA bantamweight title. Finnish prospect Teresa Makinen preserved her unbeaten record with a tight eight-round victory over Chloe Watson, and Elizabeth Oshoba handed Chelsey Arnell a third-round stoppage defeat.
