In the lead-up to their world title clash at Dublin’s 3Arena, both Katie Taylor and Chantelle Cameron successfully made weight. The Englishwoman, defending her light-welterweight belts, slightly edged the scales at a fraction over 9st 3lb, with hometown favorite Taylor registering a hair heavier. The atmosphere at The Helix in Dublin City University crackled with nervous energy as the fighters, despite the high stakes, engaged in a cordial face-off, setting the stage for what promises to be a compelling showdown on Saturday night.

Having dealt Taylor her inaugural professional defeat in May, Cameron, the undisputed super-lightweight champion, is ready to repeat history again in Dublin. Or so are the predictions that fans are making.

Fans give their predictions for the Katie Taylor-Chantelle Cameron fight

Fans are very evidently leaning toward Cameron when it comes to choosing the one who will dominate. “Poor card this great main event Chantelle wins by decision,” said one fan who was confident that Cameron would secure the win.

“Katie Taylor has no presence,” commented another fan on Taylor’s weigh-in.

“Cameron looking a bit drained or is she usually like that?” asked a fan, underscoring the tired look on Cameron.

“Chantelle again I reckon,” predicted another fan, placing his faith in Cameron.

“Cameron victory again,” stated another fan.

With the bout drawing closer, anticipation has reached its peak. As Taylor finds a chance to redeem her loss, it will be interesting to see how she uses it. Cameron is also coming in with full force to assert her dominance in the ring. However, fans are doubtful if the fight will proceed as planned after violent riots broke out in Dublin.
