  • Chantelle Cameron rises three places to number 2 after spoiling pound for pound queen Katie Taylor’s homecoming in Dublin with a brilliant majority decision win. Credit to both women for putting it all on the line and daring to fight the best.
  • Cameron will be firm favourite in a rematch but, whether at 140 or 135lbs. or whether at Croke Park or not, it will be a fascinating return.
  • Claressa Shields is the new number 1 and right now, lack of competition in her weight divisions aside, it’s hard to see her being knocked off the top.
