Katie Taylor was granted another three weeks to either work out terms with Chantelle Cameron or stall out her longtime rival, depending on the viewpoint.
The negotiation period for the WBC-ordered trilogy clash was extended through September 18, upon request from the team surrounding Ireland’s Taylor, the two-division and reigning undisputed 140lbs champion.
As previously reported by BoxingScene, the two sides had been instructed to reach a deal by August 28 to avoid a purse bid hearing for their mandatory title fight. However, WBC officials agreed to further push out its deadline to accommodate Taylor, despite the public disappointment expressed by England’s Cameron, 21-1 (8 KOs).
“[Thursday] was the deadline for Katie and her team to come to some kind of agreement with my team to either fight me or vacate the [WBC title],” Cameron posted on her Instagram account. “Which I thought was reasonable considering I’ve spent the last 2 years getting back in position to fight for it. Since losing it in our rematch back in 2023.
“This is the second extension that’s been granted. Hopefully, [this] is the final extension/deadline and the belt is vacated as I don’t think Katie and her team want the fight, which is fair enough. But the 140 division should crack on.”
Taylor, 25-1 (6 KOs), is represented by Matchroom Boxing and manager Brian Peters, both entities for the entirety of her pro career. Cameron is signed to Most Valuable Promotions.
There is clearly no love lost between the two boxers, each responsible for the lone career defeat on the other’s record.
