- Background: Cameron will try to duplicate her performance of May 20, when she became the first to defeat Katie Taylor in defense of her undisputed 140-pound championship at 3Arena. The 32-year-old from England won by a majority decision. She won her first junior welterweight title when she outpointed Adriana dos Santos Araujo in 2020 and added three more titles along the way, two in her breakthrough unanimous decision victory in a title-unification bout against Jessica McCaskill in November of last year. Taylor, who maintains her 135-pound titles, is arguably the face of women’s boxing but is at a crossroads. She’s 37 and faces the prospect of back-to-back losses. Taylor is from Bray, Ireland, on the outskirts of Dublin.
