Chantelle Cameron: 'Katie Taylor won’t take trilogy fight as her swansong. I’m the wrong opponent for that'

Irish legend Katie Taylor is set to have one final fight to end her career - but Chantelle Cameron does not expect to line up in the opposite corner.

Cameron is the only professional opponent to have beaten Taylor, a loss which Taylor avenged in their subsequent rematch.

A deciding trilogy fight never materialised. But if the opportunity arose, Cameron would box Taylor a third time.

"One-hundred per cent," Cameron told Your Site. "It's one a piece, we both beat each other, we both took each other's '0's.

"The fight is, in my opinion, as a female trilogy, it's the trilogy that makes sense."

But Cameron does not see it happening. "Katie Taylor won't take that as her swansong," Cameron said. "I'm the wrong opponent for that so it won't happen, but I'm absolutely fine with that.

"I've accepted it and I'm looking forward to my future."

With Cameron aiming, eventually, to become a two-weight undisputed world champion, she is leaving her rivalry with Taylor in the past.

On Sunday live on Your Site, she is moving up to super-welterweight to fight Michaela Kotaskova for the WBO championship at 154lbs.

It will be the first women's world title fight fought with three-minute rounds, as is typical in men's boxing, to take place on UK soil.

"First woman to become undisputed in the UK and now the first woman to fight three-minute [rounds] for a world title, so I feel like I'm making my own history there and it's special," she said.

"I would love to be undisputed in a second weight class. But what I've learned with boxing is it's totally unpredictable. It's hard to become undisputed because you need the fighters and the world champions to make the fight as well.

"There's a lot of disappointments in boxing and you don't always get what you want. So I'm not going to put pressure on or stress myself out over becoming undisputed in a second weight class.

"Do I think I can do it? Absolutely. But will it happen? Who knows?"

Watch Chantelle Cameron vs Michaela Kotaskova this Sunday, live on Your Site from 7pm.
