Chantelle Cameron moves up to super-lightweight for WBC final eliminator
Chantelle Cameron will step up to super-lightweight to face Anahi Esther Sanchez in a WBC final eliminator – with the winner facing Jessica McCaskill.
The undefeated ‘Il Capo’ (11-0, 7 KOs) collides with Argentina’s three-weight world champion Sanchez (19-4, 11 KOs) on the #MTKFightNight at York Hall on November 9 – live on ESPN+ in association with Top Rank and on iFL TV worldwide.
Cameron, who remains the reigning WBC Silver champion at lightweight, said: “Sanchez is a good opponent who has been around. She’s had a lot of world title fights and had good fights with Katie Taylor and McCaskill.
“She has a good boxing brain and knows what she’s doing in there but I’m confident that I’ll simply have too much for her on the night.
“She carries power too but as I showed against Basheel, I’ve got power AND I can box. I’m not concerned by her power because I won’t be taking clean shots. We’ll see if she can take mine in return.
“I’ve boxed at super-lightweight before and I felt really strong and powerful. I still have the option to do lightweight but at super-lightweight, I have that bit of extra power to use.”
Cameron defeated Anisha Basheel in her last fight in July and is the current WBC Silver lightweight champion and former IBO world lightweight titlist.Joining Cameron vs. Sanchez is a world-level showdown between undefeated WBO European welterweight king Michael McKinson against Luis Alberto Veron, world title challenger Liam Walsh and much more.
