Chantelle Cameron shows off injuries after historic Katie Taylor win

Chantelle Cameron beat Katie Taylor by decision at the 3 Arena last night in a classic bout.

The super-lightweight queen controlled much of the fight and was the deserved victor as she retained her world titles and handed Taylor the first defeat of her professional career.

While Cameron dominated much of the fight, she did eat some big punches as Taylor settled into her rhythm midway through the fight.

Once the contest was over, Cameron headed backstage and showed off her injuries as she posed with her world title belts.

The Northampton star could be seen boasting a nasty bruise underneath her right eye, perhaps a symptom of Taylor's repeated counter left-hooks.

Cameron also showed off a nasty bump on her forehead.

The defending champion was all smiles backstage and in the post-fight press-conference as she discussed what might be next for her career.

Eddie Hearn suggested a rematch with Taylor was the biggest fight available, and while Cameron seemed interested in a second bout with the Bray Bomber, she implied that a rematch will be done on her terms.
