Eddie Hearn breaks his silence after Katie Taylor's Chantelle Cameron message with positive update

Eddie Hearn says there is "a very good chance" that Katie Taylor will fight Chantelle Cameron on May 20 in Dublin.

The Bray Bomber took to social media in a very out of character move on Thursday to plead with her promoter to secure a homecoming fight with Northampton native Cameron in two months time.

The post came just days after Amanda Serrano withdrew from her scheduled rematch with Taylor due to an injury.

Taylor said on Instagram: "Let’s get it done @EddieHearn, this homecoming has waited long enough! @3arenadublin is available so let’s give Ireland a night to remember on May 20th. Let’s go @chancam91, happy to move up in weight for the opportunity to become a two weight Undisputed champ."

Speaking publicly for the first time since Serrano withdrew from the bout, Hearn told Metro.co.uk: "Katie will fight anyone. I guess the only fighter there has ever been a question mark over whether she would fight her or not is Chantelle Cameron. But behind the scenes I know Taylor has always been up for that.

"Once Chantelle got in a position for that to be a mega fight, that’s the fight. Amanda Serrano is injured and not ready and I don’t think Katie wants to wait for that fight which could now be August or September. She wants the homecoming fight, let’s make it happen.

"Now we are in talks with DAZN to see if we can make it happen. Both sides have agreed, they haven’t agreed on the money yet but that is something we hope we will be able to overcome but I think there is a very good chance you see that fight on 20 May."
