Eddie Hearn gives massive update on Katie Taylor - Chantelle Cameron rematch including venue and date

Eddie Hearn has given the likely date for Katie Taylor's rematch against Chantelle Cameron and says it will happen in 2023.

Taylor suffered her first defeat in her professional career in May at the 3Arena with Cameron a deserving winner on the night.

And Hearn says that a rematch is likely to happen in November but will not take part in Croke Park.

Speaking to Matchroom Boxing YouTube, Hearn said: "Katie is going to exercise that rematch clause against Chantelle Cameron. "We’ll plan that fight for November time.

"It’s gonna be a huge fight. There was no talking Katie Taylor into any other fight. All she wanted was a chance to rematch Chantelle Cameron."

And Hearn played down talks of a Croke Park fight, saying: ""Maybe, I mean again it depends on timing. September’s kind of the latest that you can have that fight.

"I think a stadium would be fun, but it was pretty good in there on Saturday, I loved the arena, just unbelievable.

"And one of the things I enjoyed most about Saturday was it was a 9,000 arena, at 6:30pm - 6:45pm we had 7,000 people in. The main event was at 10:30pm - 10:45pm."
