Six months ago, Katie Taylor lost her professional undefeated record when she was beaten on points by Chantelle Cameron in Dublin. On November 25, they will go toe-to-toe once again as the undisputed super-lightweight champion Cameron puts her WBC, WBA, IBF and WBO titles on the line. Cameron is undefeated in 18 professional fights while Taylor has one loss in 23.

Chantelle Cameron will put her four titles on the line when she goes toe-to-toe against Katie Taylor in a rematch in Dublin on Saturday, November 25.
The undisputed super-lightweight champion defeated Taylor on a majority verdict at 3Arena in the Irish capital back in May, handing the Bray fighter a first professional loss.
And she is embracing the prospect of defending her WBC, WBA, IBF and WBO light-welterweight titles in Taylor’s home country this winter.
"To go over to Ireland for her homecoming with my belts on the line and beat her was a brilliant experience, but beating her on 25 November will surpass that, as I know what to expect now," said Cameron, who is undefeated in 18 professional fights.
"I've boxed at that high level with a huge amount of pressure on me and the crowd against me.
"I'm going in there with more aggression and energy and I'm confident of getting the job done in better fashion.
"I'm going to be a lot better in the rematch. In the gym we're correcting mistakes that I've made. There were little things that I was doing during the first fight that led to me being headbutted a lot - that's why my face was very bruised up at the end of the fight.
"Going back to Ireland to beat Katie Taylor twice in a row will show that it wasn't just a lucky night for me and an off night for Katie.
"I think I'm all wrong for Katie. I'm too big, I'm too strong and my will to win is too strong. I'm going to be there all night long. Katie picked the wrong fighter to fight."
Meanwhile, Taylor – who remains the undisputed lightweight champion and had last suffered defeat at the 2016 Rio Olympics – is looking forward for the chance to avenge the loss.
"I'm delighted the rematch has been made and really can't wait for another huge night in November," said Taylor.
"I relish challenges like this and these are the occasions I live for."
