It would be a great way to go out by winning the trilogy against Amanda Serrano but the lure of a Croke Park fight would be something quite spectacular<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;She&#8217;s got a few injuries at the moment. She won&#8217;t fight again this year and she may not fight again. But if the Croke Park opportunity presents itself, it would be very difficult for her to turn down.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sdc-site-video__accessibility-message\" data-role=\"accessibility-message\">Please use Chrome browser for a more accessible video player<\/p>\n<p>                <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/skysports-boxing-toe2toe_6970915.jpg\" alt=\"Chantelle Cameron on Katie Taylor\"  aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"sdc-site-video__poster-img excluded-image\"\/><\/p>\n<p>              Chantelle Cameron addresses Katie Taylor&#8217;s &#8216;disrespectful&#8217; comments following her fight against Amanda Serrano and says she&#8217;s ready to complete the trilogy<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;For me, the greatest female fighter of all-time, probably one of the greatest sportspeople from Ireland.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;She&#8217;s an absolute icon and a credit to the sport. If that&#8217;s the end of the road. What a career, what a legacy, what a journey but I can also see her having another couple of fights.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We will sit down in a couple months and we will definitely speak to the sports minister in Ireland, who&#8217;s been vocal about the possibility and desire to host a Katie Taylor fight in Ireland.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Katie Taylor in Croke Park would be something we would never forget.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"sdc-site-video__accessibility-message\" data-role=\"accessibility-message\">Please use Chrome browser for a more accessible video player<\/p>\n<p>                <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/skysports-katie-taylor_6965566.jpg\" alt=\"TAYLOR\"  aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"sdc-site-video__poster-img excluded-image\"\/><\/p>\n<p>              After her win over Amanda Serrano, Ellie Scotney discusses whether Katie Taylor can lay claim to being the greatest female boxer of all time<\/p>\n<p>The WBC have confirmed that Chantelle Cameron is the mandatory challenger for Taylor&#8217;s WBC belt.<\/p>\n<p>Cameron, who handed Taylor her only professional defeat before losing a rematch, is aiming to enforce a trilogy fight.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The WBC has ordered the fight and if no agreement is reached, a purse offer will take place,&#8221; WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman told Sky Sports.<\/p>\n<p>But it remains to be seen if Taylor will face Cameron again after she questioned the popularity of her British rival.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think Chantelle has to see if she can sell out a 1,000-seat arena first.
