When the duo locked horns in the ring in May, the UK national won a majority decision. While Taylor promised a different story in the rematch with newly gained confidence from her stellar camp, Chantelle Cameron is aiming for a more decisive win this time.
During an interview with Matchroom, the 32-year-old gave a stark warning to her opponent, promising a world of hurt for the rematch:
"I have got to beat Katie again to make sure I cement it because what I did the first night goes out the window if I lose. I will go in there with a bit of grip, a bit of beast, and then I’m completely different... I have to come back to Dublin again, give her a second shot at a homecoming. I never had a homecoming – you’re not putting your belts on the line." [H/t boxing247.com]
Chantelle Cameron added:
"This is my legacy, and I feel like I’m being held back a bit because Katie is getting another shot at me. I’m spiteful, I’m horrible...’I’m going to be picking my shots so they are cleaner and harder, I’m going to be dominant, and I’m going to be brutal... I’m going to hurt Katie Taylor."
