Northampton boxing star Cameron targeting dream Taylor fight in August

Taylor (15-0, 6 KOs) is currently without an opponent for her title defence at the Matchroom Fight Camp on August 22.

And Cameron would love to step in and make the step up, having put together a blemish-free professional record of her own.

The 29-year-old has looked sensational so far, winning all 12 of her pro bouts, claiming seven victories by way of knockout.

She is currently mandatory for world titles in two divisions following impressive wins over Anisha Basheel and Anahi Ester Sanchez in 2019.

And Cameron, who enjoys plenty of support in her hometown, fully believes she could beat Taylor if given the chance she craves.

Cameron told the MTK Global website: “I’d absolutely love the chance to fight Katie Taylor in August.

"I’ve made it very clear that Katie Taylor is my dream fight, so if I get that fight I will be ecstatic.

"I think I’ve got a great chance of winning it, so getting it in August would be a dream come true.

“I think the key factor against Katie would be the pressure. I’m a pressure fighter and I don’t take a step back.

"I don’t think Katie deals with pressure well, and I’ve got the power to hurt her too.

“I’ll be relentless and in her face throwing big heavy punches, but I do have a boxing skill set as well.

"I can box, I can mix it up, and I think Katie’s strengths and my strengths make for a good entertaining fight.

“It would be a great clash of styles, and I do think I could get the stoppage over Katie. After seeing some of her recent performances I think the stoppage is there for me.

“Since I’ve turned professional, me and Katie Taylor have always been on the same course.

"I know I don’t have as big a profile as Katie Taylor because she’s a legend.

"Her team may say there’s no point fighting me because I don’t have as big a profile, but I’m mandatory in two weight classes, and people who watch me fight and know what I can do know that I’m very capable of beating Katie Taylor.

“For Britain it’s a fight that everybody wants to see. It would be a very competitive fight and would be brilliant for women’s boxing.

"People may say my profile may not be as big as Amanda Serrano or Delfine Persoon, but who had seen Persoon box before she fought Taylor?

“Who had seen Jessica McCaskill box before she fought Taylor? It shows that Taylor has boxed a lot of people with less of a profile than me.

“My dream in boxing is to become undisputed champion, so to have the fight with Taylor with all the belts on the line at once would be a fantastic achievement.

"I’m from Northampton which is small town and to put Northampton on the map would be great.”
