Chantelle Cameron is a 32-year-old professional orthodox boxer from England who is the current undisputed lightweight champion, whereas Shane McGuigan is Ellie Scotney's (boxer) trainer and manager.
The controversy broke out when Chantelle Cameron's team denied Ellie Scotney's dream of a title shot, and things became more complicated when Cameron tweeted about Shane McGuigan on a personal note.
What happened between Cameron and McGuigan?
The war of words began on April 5, 2023, when Chantelle Cameron, through her social media, made accusations against Shane McGuigan regarding how he has mistreated her, and those ill treatments significantly impacted her professional career and mental space.
Cameron also wrote that she feels sorry for Ellie Scotney as a fighter, but that won't change because she is training under McGuigan, and no title shot will be given to her at any cost.
Chantelle Cameron also stated that due to NDA's pressure upon her, she has no way of disclosing the matter to the public.
However, the accusations made by the champion herself were met with disbelief by Shane McGuigan, who denied the allegations. He also mentioned that the British Boxing Board of Control had already cleared him of these accusations in the past.
McGuigan also stated that he still needed clarification about the real reason for pulling off from the fight, as they had fought earlier.
