Chantelle Cameron v Katie Taylor: English fighter stuns Taylor to defend world titles
Briton Chantelle Cameron delivered the first defeat of Katie Taylor's career to retain her undisputed light-welterweight crown in Dublin.
Taylor, 36, suffered her first loss since crashing out of the 2016 Rio Olympics and was visibly gutted when Cameron was announced the winner. Taylor waited her entire pro career, 22 fights, to fight at home again and was competing as the challenger for the first time in four years. The first glimpse of Taylor ensured the noise reached new levels, while a shadow-boxing Cameron turned away in the ring when her challenger finally appeared.
Taylor landed a right, left combination at her trademark lightning speed in the second to huge roars, but those moments of success were fleeting. The rivals stood in the centre of the ring in the sixth, content to box up close as Taylor pinged off Cameron's head at speed but as she had done through the entire fight, Cameron responded with her own heavy shots and never appeared troubled.
