England's Chantelle Cameron scored the biggest win of her career by handing Irish fighter Katie Taylor her first professional defeat to retain her undisputed super-lightweight world championship title at the Three Arena on Saturday.
The majority decision win on the judges' scorecards moves Cameron to 18-0 as a professional while Taylor, the undisputed lightweight champion and one of the most influential figures in women's boxing, drops to 22-1.
Taylor, who won gold at the 2012 Olympics in London, was fighting on home soil for the first time as a professional, and the raucous sold-out crowd backed her all the way. In the fifth round Cameron's left hand loosened Taylor's tightly braided hair, impairing the Irish fighter's vision and her team had to work quickly during the break to tie it back.
