Cameron Vacates WBC Title in Protest Against Men's and Women's Rules
Chantelle Cameron relinquished her WBC Super Lightweight title to protest two-minute rounds for women, joining over two dozen fighters campaigning for equal three-minute rounds, records show.
- On Friday, Chantelle Cameron, the British boxer, vacated her WBC Super Lightweight title in protest at the WBC's two-minute round rule, with her decision coinciding with a purse bid for a fight with Sandy Ryan.
- Last month, Chantelle Cameron was upgraded to full WBC light-welterweight champion after Katie Taylor was named 'champion in recess'; WBC president Mauricio Sulaiman said in 2023 they would not sanction 12 three-minute rounds in women's bouts.
- Cameron said `I'm proud of my accomplishment in becoming a WBC champion, but it's time to take a stand for what's right and for the future of the sport,` and received immediate backing from MVP and Nakisa Bidarian.
- Cameron will continue her career and seek other title opportunities as MVP says she plans marquee bouts and Reuters contacts the World Boxing Council for comment.
- Amanda Serrano, boxer who relinquished a WBC title in December 2023, joined more than two dozen female boxers in a 2023 campaign, while other sanctioning bodies allow three-minute rounds if both fighters agree.
