Cameron overcomes Mayer in epic to emphasise boxing greatness

Chantelle Cameron underlined her place among the greats of women's boxing as she defeated Mikaela Mayer by unanimous decision in a thriller to become WBA, WBC and WBO super-welterweight world champion at MPW-06 in Birmingham. What had been billed as a fight of the year contender did not disappoint as the pound-for-pound superstars fought at a frenetic, unrelenting pace in a bruising main event. It would be Cameron who emerged victorious as she edged a tight-knit contest 97-93, 97-93, 96-94 on the judges' scorecards, further glossing a stellar resume that already honours her as the only woman to ever defeat the great Katie Taylor in her professional career.
