Chantelle Cameron has re-joined trainer Jamie Moore.Cameron had been training with Grant Smith in Sheffield and then Stephen Smith in Liverpool but is now back with Moore, who coached her to the biggest win of her career, when she became the first woman to defeat Katie Taylor in May 2023. Cameron lost a close fight in the Taylor rematch six months later and is now 21-1 (8 KOs).Since the Taylor reverse, Cameron has won three times, defeating Elhem Mekhaled, Patricia Berghult, and Jessica Camara.“She’s just been back this week,” said Moore.“When we went our separate ways, we never fell out.

Then, having seen Giant – the movie documenting the acrimonious split between Brendan Ingle and Naseem Hamed – and watching the film’s climactic scene, a meeting between the two that never happened but where they both considered being reunited and where they put their differences behind them, Moore thought he and Cameron should have another run together. “It’s only boxing, isn’t it,” said Moore. “My wife was really close with Chantelle when she was with us, and over Christmas we were talking [with Cameron] and she’d been talking about this next fight and then she sent me a message saying, ‘Are we finishing what we started or what?’”Moore asked Cameron to clarify, and Cameron said she wanted to come back to the gym.“Life’s too short,” replied Jamie. “Let’s do it,…
