Overview

  • World Boxing Council confirmation installs Chantelle Cameron as the active super-lightweight champion following Katie Taylor’s change in status.
  • Mauricio Sulaiman said the WBC will order Sandy Ryan to face Cameron to ratify the title, though no formal bout order has been issued yet.
  • Taylor did not finalize negotiations for a mandated defense against Cameron despite a deadline extension before seeking champion-in-recess designation.
  • Cameron’s elevation was underpinned by three WBC interim wins over Elhem Mekhaled, Patricia Berghult and Jessica Camara, taking her record to 21-1 (8 KOs).
  • This marks Cameron’s second reign with the WBC belt at 140 lbs, with promoters Most Valuable Promotions publicly congratulating her as the new champion.
