Chantelle Cameron has confirmed that her fight with Katie Taylor has been fixed for the 25th of May at the 3 Arena in Dublin.

This will be the third, and surely the final, bout between the two boxers following their two sensational fights in the Irish capital previously.

Cameron became the first boxer to defeat the Bray native in her professional career after winning on points back in May 2023.

But the 37-year-old would get her revenge in their rematch last November to become a two-weight world champion at both Lightweight and Light Welter-weight.

Following that victory, there were numerous calls for a trilogy fight to take place at Croke Park but speaking to the London Independent, Cameron has confirmed the fight will take place at the 3 Arena. 

"A date has been set, 25 May," began the English boxer.

"Me and Katie both want the fight, it's just to do with us getting paid the correct money. Croke Park’s not happening, it’s gonna be at the 3 Arena.

"I would like a fair fight. I beat her the first time and I think I beat her convincingly. The second fight, she beat me, but do I think the referee gave her a little bit of help? Yeah, I do, because of the headbutts, the holding, everything that was going on.

"(That's) my honest opinion, but there is no frustration, because she’s the champion. I’ve got to do what any challenger has to do: go to her backyard and snatch the belts back. That’s my plan."
