The news that female boxing star Katie Taylor will not be facing Chantelle Cameron in a trilogy fight has left many fight fans surprised. Instead, Taylor is set to have a rematch with Amanda Serrano, the former lightweight champion and current 140 pound champ. This decision has left Cameron feeling disappointed and frustrated, as she believed that the trilogy fight was the next logical step. Taylor’s choice to move away from the crucial deciding fight with Cameron, at least temporarily, has raised questions about her willingness to take on meaningful challenges in her career.
Chantelle Cameron, who has only been defeated by Taylor at the professional level, expressed her disappointment at Taylor’s decision to not pursue the trilogy fight. Cameron believes that the magnitude of the trilogy fight would have been huge for women’s boxing and was looking forward to the opportunity to fight for her belts once again. Despite accepting less money and having no demands, Cameron feels that Taylor has “run” from the chance to settle the score with her. Cameron is determined to put pressure on Taylor to reconsider her decision and give her the opportunity to win back her belts.
The question remains, what will happen if Taylor loses to Serrano in the upcoming rematch? The close and tough battle between Taylor and Serrano in April 2022 leaves room for the possibility of Taylor losing her next fight. If this were to happen, would a third fight with Cameron still hold the same appeal to both fighters and the fans? Cameron’s disappointment and frustration are understandable, as she feels that Taylor is avoiding the rematch and denying her the chance to prove herself once again.
The decision by Katie Taylor to choose a rematch with Amanda Serrano over a trilogy fight with Chantelle Cameron has left many fans and Cameron herself disappointed. The anticipation for a decisive fight between Taylor and Cameron was high, and many were looking forward to seeing who would come out on top. It remains to be seen what the future holds for Taylor, Cameron, and the possibility of a third fight between the two female boxing stars. Only time will tell if Taylor’s decision will lead to a missed opportunity for an epic showdown in the ring.
