Katie Taylor set for Amanda Serrano rematch before Chantelle Cameron re-run

Katie Taylor looks set to take on Amanda Serrano in a rematch before running it back against Chantelle Cameron.

Cameron handed Taylor the first defeat of her professional career at the 3Arena last month, and although rumours have run rampant about a rematch, a bout with Serrano now seems to be the front runner.

Taylor and Serrano famously fought at Madison Square Garden in a classic bout last year and had been set to face-off in a rematch at the 3Arena before Serrano had to withdraw with an injury.

Cameron stepped in at the 11th hour to save the May 20th slot and overpowered Taylor on her way to defending her Super-Lightweight crown.

In the aftermath of the Cameron fight, promoter Eddie Hearn had suggested that a rematch between Taylor and Cameron was the biggest fight to make in women's boxing.

His stance has clearly changed, with TalkSPORT boxing correspondent Michael Benson revealing that Hearn is considering doing Taylor v Serrano II before a Cameron rematch takes place.

Benson stresses that things may change and Taylor may well take on Cameron before Serrano, and that a decision will be made by the end of next week.

Cameron herself has already reacted to the news, posting a screenshot of Benson's tweet to Twitter along with a series of shrugging emojis.

After beating Taylor last month and defending her Super-Lightweight titles, Cameron has spoken about wanting to drop down to Lightweight and challenge Katie for her Undisputed crown.
