Taylor vs Cameron fight purse: prize money, fight time, TV info

Katie Taylor is preparing to step into the ring for a blockbuster homecoming fight.

Katie Taylor is undefeated as a professional and is the lightweight champion. It is the first time she has fought on Irish soil in her career and the 36-year-old will be hoping its a happy homecoming.

She will face England’s Chantelle Cameron in the ring, who is light-welterweight champion. Despite also being undefeated in her 17 career fights the 32-year-old is the underdog.

Katie Taylor is relishing the “biggest night” of her illustrious career. Speaking at the weigh-in on Friday (19 May), Taylor said: “I’m so proud to be here and represent this great nation and I’m going to give it my all and become a two-weight undisputed champion. It will absolutely be the biggest night of my career so far.”

“This is absolutely incredible, seeing the crowd here, thank you so much for all the support,” added Taylor. “To bring big-time boxing back to this great nation, this is a nation who loves our sport, loves our boxing. I cannot wait to get a hold of those belts.”

Cameron, who will have height and reach advantages over Taylor, has not been unduly tested in her 17 wins, eight inside the distance, and has seemed unfazed by all the hysteria surrounding her opponent.

“Cool heads in a hot kitchen, it’s just down to business,” said Cameron, who claimed all four major world titles last November by beating Jessica McCaskill. I’ll bring everything I’ve got.”
