Undisputed lightweight champion Katie Taylor will face undisputed light-welterweight star Chantelle Cameron in Dublin this weekend.
Both fighters will be putting their undefeated records on the line as Taylor takes on a new opponent after Amanda Serrano pulled out of their blockbuster rematch.
The pair battled out a historic fight last April, becoming the first females to top the bill at New York’s Madison Square Garden with the Irish star winning on points.
And Taylor was scheduled to defend her WBA, WBC, IBF and WBO lightweight world titles against Serrano again, however, her opponent was forced to pull out due to injury.
The 36-year-old then called out Cameron and will aim to become a two-weight undisputed champion as she fights in her home country for the first time.
