Katie Taylor v Chantelle Cameron II at 3 Arena targeted for November 25

Katie Taylor's rematch with Chantelle Cameron will take place at the 3 Arena on November 25th according to reports in the UK.

Both International Boxing News and the Irish Independent report that the highly anticipated rematch between the pair will take place at 140 pounds, with Cameron's Undisputed Super-Lightweight titles on the line once again.

The defeat to the 32-year-old Northampton brawler on May 20th was the first of Taylor's professional career with the Bray native having entered the ring on that night unbeaten in her previous 22 contests.

Eddie Hearn, Taylor's promoter since she turned professional in 2016, confirmed last month that the 2012 Olympic gold medalist had activated her rematch clause to fight Cameron again.

While names like Amanda Serrano and Natasha Jonas had been mooted for Taylor's next bout, Hearn claimed that Taylor's sole focus was on Cameron.

Speaking to Matchroom Boxing YouTube at the time, Hearn said: "Katie is going to exercise that rematch clause against Chantelle Cameron. We’ll plan that fight for November time.

"It’s gonna be a huge fight. There was no talking Katie Taylor into any other fight. All she wanted was a chance to rematch Chantelle Cameron."

Cameron has welcomed the rematch and recently asked her social media followers to give their opinion on where the fight should take place.

And while she initially seemed hesitant to defend her titles and expressed her desire to drop down in weight to challenge for Taylor's lightweight crown, the undisputed champion will have to make peace with defending her crown on home soil again.

The British star will undoubtedly be the favourite in the rematch having decisively beaten Taylor on points back in May. Since that defeat, Taylor - who turned 37 last Sunday, has kept quiet and hasn't spoken to the media.

November 25th looks set to be a night of rematches as it has been reported that Gary Cully will once again face Jose Felix Jr.

The two men squared off on that May 20th card, with Cully falling to a shocking third round TKO defeat at the hands of the veteran Mexican.
