- Chantelle Cameron wins the vacant WBO super-welterweight title by unanimous decision (100-90, 99-91, 99-91)
- The Northampton fighter becomes a two-weight world champion in historic fashion at Olympia, London
- Cameron immediately calls out Mikaela Mayer for a massive showdown at 154lbs
Right then, another piece of history from a massive night of women's boxing at Olympia. Chantelle Cameron has become a two-weight world champion after absolutely schooling Michaela Kotaskova to claim the vacant WBO super-welterweight title. The scorecards of 100-90, 99-91, and 99-91 don't lie — this was a masterclass from the Northampton fighter.
Cameron's move up to 154lbs had question marks around it. Could she carry her speed and power to a heavier division? Would Kotaskova's size be a factor? The answer to both questions became clear within the first two rounds: Cameron is a class fighter regardless of weight. She was sharper, faster, and more technically proficient in every area.
A Historic Night for British Women's Boxing
Let's put this in context. Cameron's bout against Kotaskova was the first fight in the UK between two women for a world title fought over three-minute rounds — a format Cameron herself had specifically pushed for. She wanted parity with the men, got it, and then delivered a performance that justified every bit of that advocacy. Brilliant from start to finish.
Cameron controlled distance beautifully throughout, using her jab to dictate the pace and landing sharp counters whenever Kotaskova tried to close the gap. The Czech fighter showed heart but was simply outclassed by someone operating at a higher level. There were no knockdowns, but Cameron's dominance was reflected in the near-perfect scorecards.
The Mayer Callout
What happened after the final bell was almost as exciting as the fight itself. Cameron called out Mikaela Mayer — another two-weight world champion — and the pair faced off in the ring. Now that's a proper fight. Cameron vs Mayer at 154lbs would be a massive event for women's boxing, and the fact that both fighters want it makes it even better.
Cameron has now proven she can compete at the highest level in multiple weight classes. She was undisputed at super-lightweight, and now she's a world champion at super-welterweight. That's levels. If the Mayer fight gets made, and I fully expect it will, British women's boxing fans are in for another spectacular night.
