Matchroom promoter Eddie Hearn is actively working to arrange a third fight between Katie Taylor and Chantelle Cameron, following some negotiation challenges. Despite Cameron’s recent claims of delays caused by Taylor’s team, Hearn remains positive about bringing this fight to fruition. Taylor and Cameron have previously expressed their eagerness for a rematch, underlining the bout's significance in the boxing community.
Cameron has publicly stated her willingness to accept a reduced purse to ensure the fight's occurrence, pointing to financial hurdles as the main impediment to finalizing the arrangements. The proposed trilogy fight, initially aimed for May 2024 at Dublin’s Croke Park, encountered obstacles in securing the venue. Hearn, however, assures that plans are in place to host the fight within the year, despite the current lack of a confirmed date and location.
Hearn's strategy for Taylor includes not only the awaited trilogy with Cameron but also other significant matchups, highlighting Taylor's mandatory defense of her undisputed championship. This follows their previous encounters, where Cameron secured a victory over Taylor in April, marking Taylor's first professional loss, and Taylor's subsequent win in their rematch in November.
The boxing promoter indicates that Taylor’s upcoming fights will soon be announced, potentially including Cameron or Amanda Serrano among her next opponents. This plan underscores Matchroom's broader efforts to navigate the complexities of fight promotions and scheduling.
