Undefeated English boxer Chantelle Cameron vows to make Katie Taylor crumble

English boxer Chantelle Cameron reckons that she can exploit Katie Taylor's weaknesses and make her 'crumble'.

The 13-0 rising star claims to know the Bray boxer's weaknesses and thinks she can be the first to beat her in the pro ranks if they faced-off.

Cameron made the claims ahead of Taylor's unified world lightweight title defence against Miriam Gutierrez this weekend.

"I've seen her weaknesses. My strengths are her weaknesses so, style-wise, it is a great fight for me," Cameron told Sky Sports.

"It would obviously be my toughest fight, it wouldn't be easy.

"But I'm younger than her, I've got more hunger - I'd just outwork her and outpower her. That's what she struggles with.

"I've been seeing [her weaknesses] with different opponents.

"She doesn't like pressure. She stands there to have a fight but she isn't very powerful.

"She has massive hand speed but she can't overpower me or outwork me. She wouldn't handle that and will crumble."

A lightweight contender initially, Cameron moved up a weight class as she was lower down the pecking order for a shot at Taylor.

And she's impressed at super-lightweight, picking up the WBC world title last month.

But Cameron insists that it would be a dream to fight Taylor.

"I said all along that I only moved to super-lightweight because Katie was so busy that I wasn't getting a look-in," Cameron continued.

"I grabbed a world title instead of hanging around. I didn't want to miss an opportunity.

"Katie is the dream fight for me. She's got all the belts, and I want all the belts.

"She's the woman to beat and I'm very capable of beating her.

"Everybody is in line to fight Katie. If I got the fight, it would be a dream come true."
