Katie Taylor was defeated for the first time as a professional Chantelle Cameron in a special homecoming at Dublin's 3Arena tonight.
The legendary Olympic champion, who has since forged a path as one of professional boxing's most beloved stars, was greeted with a rapturous cheer at the famed fight venue. Despite hosting countless MMA shows for the UFC, Bellator, Cage Warriors and other major promotions, it had remained dormant for almost a decade in the boxing world.
But it was awakened with a thunderous bang as Taylor, the challenger for Cameron's undisputed super-lightweight title on the night, emerged from the back to an adoring crowd. The Irishwoman's star power in her home country is second to none, even the infamous Conor McGregor who cheered on from ringside alongside promoter Eddie Hearn.
