Katie Taylor just suffered her first pro loss to Chantelle Cameron via a majority decision. The Irish boxer climbed up to 139¾ lbs to challenge the British boxer for her undisputed super lightweight status. While Taylor received unparalleled support at her homecoming, Cameron disappointed the 36-year-old and declared that she was “sick of” keeping her titles. Following the gigantic victory against Taylor, Cameron even announced that she wanted to “go for more belts“.
Probably, Cameron would like to face Taylor at 135 lbs and challenge the Irish boxer for her undisputed lightweight status. Anyway, following Taylor’s first professional defeat, along with the Irish spectators who were present, Conor McGregor was greatly disappointed. In fact, a picture of him showed a dejected McGregor with his head lowered at the ringside.
