Chantelle Cameron and Natasha Jonas in Chase for Katie Taylor Showdown
Published
1 year agoon
Chantelle Cameron and Natasha Jonas are fighting to be another opponent of Katie Taylor after her fight with Amanda Serrano in Novel York on Saturday.
Taylor (24-1, 6 KO), 38, from Bray in Ireland, but WHO Trains in Connecticut, is 2-0, enters the Saturday defense of its world-handed titles in Madison Square Garden.
Serrano (47-3-1, 31 KO), 36, who as a child moved to Novel York from Puerto Rico, overcame a significant disadvantage that she accelerated three classes to Outland and Wobble Taylor in the greatest fight in the history of women’s boxing in November last year, while fighting his right eye.
But Taylor became forceful in later rounds to get 95-94 results with all three judges, after winning the first fight vs. Serrano in the issue of the disputed, divided decision in April 2022.
Cameron (20-1, 8 KO), 34, from Northampton in England and who is now training in Liverpool, also fights on the same card as Taylor vs. Serrano III in Madison Square Garden, when he is in the face of Jessica Camar (14-4-1, 3 KO).
Cameron inflicted the only defeat of Taylor, at most points in May 2023, before Ireland also took revenge on majority points in November 2023.
Cameron is signed for the most valuable promotions, companies Social Media Star Jake PauL, and because he is also a pretender for the WBC Taylor belt, the future opponent of Taylor looks like.
However, Cameron still has some doubts.
“I was told that I would fight the winner of Katie versus Amanda because I am the transient champion of WBC,” said Cameron ESPN.
“However, Amanda is not a 140-Funt warrior, but whoever wins, and if the title becomes empty, I will fight for the title after the next fight.
“I am not saying that I am sure that the third fight against Katie, because the fight with her in the trilogy should have been a long time ago. I fought her in Dublin twice and told me after the second in the ring that the fight against the trilogy would happen.
“I thought he was signed and sealed, I agreed to the date and place, and I actually took less money for her than the first two fights. But then I was told that he wanted to fight easier and fight her duty instead of me.
“She didn’t want to fight me again and did she change her mind?
Mother-of-one Jonas (16-3-1, 9 KO), 41, from Liverpool, has retirement plans on the shelf to see if he can receive one last day of remuneration compared to Taylor or Serrano.
Jonas lost its titles WBC and IBF World Welter Wweight on the British rival Lauren Price on points in March.
“Katie means much more to me because of our history, but the fight with the winner, whoever is, means that you have lanes on the line, so it makes sense,” said Jonas Espn.
“There are only three fights in which I could invest everything, and against Katie, Mikael Mayer and Amanda Serrano.
“I am sure that Cameron Cameron is higher in a queue than me to fight Katie because she signed a contract with Jake Paul. But 140 pounds are something that I could do comfortably and I am available.
“Fighting Katie would be perfect because there are only some fights that can motivate me, because you have to go through hell mentally and physically to prepare. If I intend to do it, I want to do it because of to motivate myself. Katie would bring it.”
Both Cameron and Jonas agree that Taylor’s utilize of her head can be a decisive factor again on Saturday. Serrano was seriously cut through the ass of the head in the 4th round of her second defeat from Taylor in November, and later Taylor took the point to utilize.
“I think it’s Katie’s style, I don’t think she does it on purpose, but she definitely uses her head,” said Cameron ESPN.
“I had opponents of her message before I fought Katie, telling me to think of her head and sticking to. We were aware that she was leading with my head before she entered both fights. I don’t think she did it on purpose, but when she sees how she cut you, she did it, she just did against Amandie and I in recurses. [by a clash of heads in Round 3] And then she made the decision [in the 2023 rematch].
“Katie is an incredible boxer, but she is enraged with her head and leads with her head.
“I hope that this will be a cleaner fight, but so far they have produced really good fights and I think it will be another good. It is challenging to say who will win, I think Amanda had pierced the first two fights, but Katie was forceful in the second, so sit on the fence.”
Jonas, who lost her unanimous decision from close results towards Taylor for world airy titles in 2021, says that Taylor must watch out for her head after last year she has managed a point against Serrano.
“Amanda thought she won and could do enough, but I thought Katie deserved to win the second fight,” said Jonas Espn.
“I thought that Amanda’s cutting completely changed the second fight when she was coming back to the fight, when she had cut, then changed her packed and played Katie. Amanda probably thought she had to do it because it was a terrifying cut, and Amanda lost her way, and Katie became more effective.
“I do not think that Strzępiek was deliberate, but Katie also knows how she boxes, and if you look at the faces of herself, Delfine Peroon and Chantelle after we went to Katie, we have nodules and unevenness on our faces, and they were not from the blows. It was a great decision for the judge in the second fight Serrano to make Katie, because they did It was a great decision.
“I think it’s a bit like Artur Beterbiv vs Dmitriry Bivol, if they fought 20 times, everyone would be really close, really high quality. Some gel styles for the production of classics, and so it is in the case of Katie and Amanda.
“Both girls raised women’s boxing to a different level. They don’t slide anyone, they are simply great rivals.
“The conversation around the boxing of women and around it interest in which they obtained is a recognition for both of them, women’s boxing is owed to them.”

Strategic Analysis of Ryan Garcia vs. Conor Benn: Key Insights and Fight Breakdown
Published

September 13, 2026

At yesterday’s weigh-in, Conor was a full pound under, weighing 146 pounds at the commission weigh-in, which began at 9 in the morning.
Benn spoke to the media this week and talked about the difficulties of making weight: “It does feel like I’ve been through the pits of hell. It’s one of those pits of hell, and I had a fight with Satan, and God brought me back to life.”

Such a difficult weight cut can affect Conor’s performance in the ring. He may be slower, not as strong, and may run out of gas in the later rounds. Benn has seen difficult weight cuts firsthand, having fought a visibly depleted Chris Eubank Jr. in their rematch last November. Conor could suffer a similar fate against Ryan, who promises not to relent and go for blood.
“Even if he makes the weight, your brain can’t rehydrate fast enough. Them punches are going to do some real damage, and I heard his dad talk like he’s [Conor] going to knock me out. Bet you won’t, and we can bet whatever you want. Your son ain’t going to knock me out. He couldn’t even knock out Regis.”
The match against Regis Prograis was a match fought at 150 pounds, and many criticized Benn for not being more dominant against an undersized boxer who had to come up to fight at the catchweight.

In that match, Conor outlanded Regis 176 to 108 in total punches landed, stating he chose to be more technical in that match. The average landing percentage of power punches of Benn’s last seven opponents is 36.1 percent (Compubox). Increasing the probability that Garcia will land a left hook or as he demonstrated in his championship fight against Mario Barrios, a right hook instead.
Garcia is the faster, younger, and, with the weight cut, the stronger fighter. How can a fighter like Benn, with a limited amateur background and short professional experience, compete against a skillful boxer like Ryan?
The two boxers Garcia lost to were Gervonta Davis and Rolando Romero, two fighters with real power behind their punches that made Ryan hesitant to engage. He did not want to trade fire with fire because of the power behind their punches. At welterweight and after a weight cut like this, Benn may not have sufficient power to deter Ryan from engaging.

In terms of overall boxing skill, Ryan holds the edge given his level of amateur experience over Conor. If he is able to land with precision and systematically break Benn down, Garcia will control the match and may potentially end it in the mid-to-late rounds by attacking the body.
Ryan has to go where Conor is weak, and that will be his body. Garcia can slow him down and make him break quicker by attacking the body from the get-go. Ryan already expects Conor to apply the pressure early, and if done strategically, he can wear him down by making him miss and land perfectly timed counters.
Garcia has been given the grand stage of boxing by headlining on Mexican Independence weekend; he must now go out and perform to expectations and defeat Benn.

David Benavidez Announces Fight Date with Jai Opetaia Following Opetaias Victory Over Noel Mikaelian

September 12, 2026
A highly-anticipated showdown between David Benavidez and Jai Opetaia could now be around the corner.
The two cruiserweights have been linked to a battle against one another over the past few months, and it now could become a reality after Opetaia was victorious on Saturday.
The New Zealander claimed a ninth round stoppage win over Noel Mikaelian at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, after a dominant display which saw Opetaia win virtually every round up to that point.
Attention could now turn to a clash with three-division world champion Benavidez, after the pair were involved in a face-off in the ring and both agreeing to face each other next May.
Benavidez: “Let’s do it right here next year for Cinco De Mayo.”
Opetaia: “Done. It’s done”
Benavidez: “Respect, he’s a strong fighter but there can only be one monster. He likes war and I’m the exact same way so it will be one hell of a fight.”
Benavidez was a two-time super middleweight world champion and remains the WBC light heavyweight champion, but last time out he moved up to 200lbs and stopped Gilberto Ramirez inside six rounds to win the WBA and WBO cruiserweight titles.
Before a potential clash with Opetaia next May can take place, Benavidez is first expected to return to action before the end of the year, with a reported battle against Michal Cieslak set to come in December.
The vacant WBC cruiserweight belt could be on the line in that contest, after the governing body didn’t sanction the belt to be on the line between Opetaia and current full WBC champion Mikaelian.
