Olympic boxing gold medallist Michael Carruth has said Katie Taylor should exercise her rematch clause against Chantelle Cameron – as he would want to fight the person who beat him.
In front of a crowd of 10,000 fans in the sold out Dublin’s 3Arena on Saturday night, Katie’s first Irish fight on home turf did not go to plan. English fighter Cameron was scored 96-94 winner on two of the three scorecards with the third being scored as a 95-95 draw.
Carruth, who won the welterweight gold medal at the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona, said the Bray fighter was “under pressure from Cameron from the start”. Carruth, who turned pro in 1994 and retired in 2000, said: “Katie didn’t look like she was on full cylinders.
