Chantelle Cameron

[Ruthless-RKO]

Press Release

Undefeated Northampton star Chantelle Cameron has signed a multi-fight promotional deal with Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom Boxing.

Cameron (12-0, 7 KOs) finds herself on the cusp of World Title action after winning WBC Final Eliminators in two separate divisions last year, securing her spot as Mandatory Challenger to Undisputed Lightweight Queen Katie Taylor and Super-Lightweight ruler Jessica McCaskill.

Trained by Jamie Moore at the VIP Gym in Asltey and managed by MTK Global, 29-year-old Cameron says a huge showdown with her idol Taylor is at the top of her wish list but she won’t put her career on hold waiting for it and is already targeting other opportunities.

“Matchroom and Sky are a huge platform,” said Cameron. “It’s always been in my sights and I’ve not had the chance until now to link-up, I can’t wait to get going. Day by day under Jamie and Nigel I’m improving but I’m still not the finished article. This time has allowed me to work in different areas I probably wouldn’t have focused on in proper training camp.

“I wasn’t expecting to become mandatory in two weights, it was a bit of a shock but I’m delighted with MTK and Jamie since we’ve all come together. The last two fights have been great matchmaking and now a World Title shot is not too far away either at Lightweight or Super-Lightweight.

“Before my first pro fight people were asking me to fight Katie. I’m a massive fan, she’s a legend and I look up to her but at the same time I’m her Mandatory and I want that fight. That being said, I don’t want to be hanging around waiting – it could be years away, she has a fight lined up and is also talking about other fights.

“I want to win World Titles myself and can’t be sitting around waiting for that fight. As it stands, I’m not sure what the next move is given what’s happened with COVID-19 but I’ll be ready to go when the call comes. I’m looking to put on a good show for my Matchroom debut, first impressions last.”

“I’m delighted to welcome Chantelle Cameron to the team,” said Eddie Hearn. “I’ve been watching her closely over the last couple of years and she’s a huge talent – exciting, relentless and punches very hard. I believe she is going to go on and become a multi-weight World Champion. Her next fight will be for a World Title and we’ll announce it in the next couple of weeks. Women’s boxing is on fire right now and I’m so excited to be a part of it and deliver huge nights on sky sports and DAZN.”

She was last signed to Cyclone, but I don't know if they're still even running..

[jameswilson]

I always thought this was inevitable. Once boxing gets back going again she will get regular fights and then a proper World title shot. I’m assuming she still has the IBO title?

[Petercattermole]

She must have given up the IBO title as that belongs to Estelle Mosley from France

[Ruthless-RKO]

She has now parted with Matchroom

Strange one leaving MR - that’s where all the big fights seem to be, although I’m far from an expert on women’s boxing. Maybe she joins Sky

She was very critical of Eddie after losing to Taylor. Saying he was jumping around excited in the ring post fight (nothing to suggest that on video) and complained about having to fight in Ireland again.

Perhaps she’s someone to always think the grass is greener. Left the McGuigans and was very critical. Achieved a lot in a short space of time with Jamie Moore and left after her first loss and now left Matchroom. She’s also probably wanting to be paid well (probably was for the Taylor fights) but doesn’t bring in much commercially.

I think the front runner would be Sky/Boxxer. They’ve got Price and Jonas. Could also see her joining MVP.

[jameswilson]

There are some fights for her at Sky that may tie her over to retirement.

She could also fight Mikaela Mayer who needs a dance partner to get herself back in the mix.

Unfortunately the trilogy looked nailed on but given the rumour is Katie Taylor is earning 6 million dollars you’d be an idiot to turn that down. I can’t see many women earning that much in boxing ever again with all due respect.

Joe G was on Buncey’s podcast banging on about Natasha Jonas, basically saying it’s a disgrace that she’s not being offered the kind of money she deserves for her next fight.

As part of his argument he mentioned that her fight against Meyer had done bigger numbers than Buatsi Azeez - surely that can’t be true ???

It’s all relative. Would have depended on the amount of channels the 2 shows were shown on. If a fight is on Sky Showcase then far more people can see it than of it’s just on one of the Sky Sports channels.

Yeah that makes sense

Joe failed to mention that

She’s only gone and signed with Queensberry. What can they do for her

Her vs Ryan on the big Aj card is my guess, maybe part of another 5 v 5 type of thing
