Chantelle Cameron fires tasteless parting shot at Katie Taylor as she heads home

Chantelle Cameron and her team fired a tasteless parting shot at Katie Taylor after their epic fight on Saturday night.

Cameron stood in front of a photo of Taylor's 2012 Olympic homecoming, and struck a pose with a cheeky smile on her face as she shrugged her shoulders.

The image was uploaded to social media by Nigel Travis who is one of Cameron's cornermen, with the caption simply reading "Well, well, well."

The post was slammed by many on social media who believed it was disrespectful. Responding to the backlash, Travis insisted that he was only having fun and meant no ill will towards Taylor.

It was a strange thing to do especially considering the build-up to the fight had been so cordial, with Cameron even claiming that she wouldn't have turned professional had it not been for Katie Taylor and the impact she had on the sport for women.

Taylor herself has also taken to social media following the fight and thanked fans for their support on what was a historic evening of boxing in the heart of Dublin.
