By Elliot Worsell IT was perhaps due more to her name and her considerable Irish following, as well as the esteem in which she is held in boxing, that Katie Taylor, beaten for the first time in May, was given the green light to rematch Chantelle Cameron, her conqueror, tonight (November 25) in Dublin, Ireland.
Month: November 2023
LAS VEGAS – Vito Mielnicki Jr. handled Alexis Salazar much easier Saturday than highly touted contender Xander Zayas dealt with Salazar 11 months earlier.

By Matt Christie TO SAY that an unbeaten fighter, who is about to box in the headline bout of a pay per view event, might also be entering Last Chance Saloon sounds ridiculous on the surface.

By Declan Taylor IN KATIE TAYLOR’S Hall of Fame career, there is one box left unchecked: exacting revenge in an immediate rematch. But having suffered the first defeat of her career six months ago, when Chantelle Cameron claimed a majority decision victory at the 3Arena in Dublin, Taylor has the chance to right the wrong
When he turned professional in 2008, just months removed from narrowly missing the medal round of the Olympics, it was easy to guess the sky was the limit for Demtrius Andrade.
