In a bombshell announcement that has sent shockwaves through the boxing community, Northampton's undefeated champion Chantelle Cameron has voluntarily surrendered all four of her world championship belts.
The 32-year-old fighter, who held the WBC, WBO, IBF and Ring Magazine super-lightweight titles, confirmed her decision to vacate the championships that cemented her status as one of Britain's most dominant fighters.
Undisputed No More
Cameron's reign as undisputed champion comes to an abrupt end following her controversial majority decision loss to Irish superstar Katie Taylor in their November rematch. Despite the setback, many expected Cameron to continue defending her hard-earned titles against new challengers.
Instead, the Northampton native has chosen to clear the path for other contenders while she contemplates her next career move. The decision leaves the 140-pound division wide open, with multiple fighters now vying for the vacant championships.
What's Next for The Undefeated Champion?
While Cameron hasn't officially announced her future plans, speculation is mounting about a potential third fight with Katie Taylor. The two warriors have created one of women's boxing's most compelling rivalries, with their first encounter seeing Cameron hand Taylor her first professional defeat.
Their Dublin rematch proved equally dramatic, ending in controversy with many boxing pundits and fans believing Cameron had done enough to retain her titles. The disputed outcome makes a trilogy fight particularly appealing to promoters and fans alike.
Legacy Intact
Despite vacating her titles, Cameron's legacy remains secure. With an unblemished 18-1 record and victories over some of the sport's biggest names, she has established herself as one of Britain's most accomplished female fighters.
Her decision to step away from the championships she worked so hard to obtain demonstrates both confidence in her abilities and a strategic approach to her career trajectory. The boxing world now waits with bated breath to see where the undefeated champion will appear next.
