Chantelle Cameron revealed her attempts to make history this weekend by fighting three-minute rounds in her world light-welterweight title defence were rebuffed.

Sanctioning bodies have previously cited safety concerns with women’s championship bouts contested over a maximum of 10 two-minute rounds rather than the 12 threes their male counterparts take part in.
