Chantelle Cameron is "ready to go" for a mega-fight with Katie Taylor in Dublin on May 20.
This is what the English fighter told The Irish Mirror, adding that she is just waiting on broadcasters DAZN agreeing to put the bout on.
The Northampton native said she could hardly believe Taylor called her out for a showdown at Dublin's 3Arena last week. She said: "It was a bit of a shock when Katie put it out there because she doesn't usually call anyone out or put anything out really."

However, Chantelle is keen on fighting the 2012 Olympic gold medallist, adding: "My whole career has been around fighting Katie and getting the opportunity so I'll jump at the chance."
It's now almost a week since Taylor publicly told her promoter that she wants to fight Cameron on May 20 in Dublin and Eddie Hearn stated over the weekend that the bout could be signed off on in the coming days.
From Cameron's point of view, the ball is firmly in DAZN's court in terms of a deal being done, with the boxer revealing she had already been in discussions about facing Taylor at Croke Park in September prior to Amanda Serrano pulling out of the May event.
She explained: "This fight could be signed right now. Katie wants to fight me. I want to fight Katie. I've agreed to everything... What I'm being told is that we're just waiting for DAZN to see if they'll put the fight on because of numbers, but from my side and my team, we're ready to go."
The English fighter has nothing but respect for Katie. "What she's done for women's boxing, the right thing for her to do is fight in Dublin. I don't know why it has taken this long because she's been boxing all over but never actually in Ireland. She deserves that homecoming and if it means putting all my belts up, then so be it. I believe in myself enough to get in there and put everything on the line."
