WBC Super-Lightweight ruler wants to punish challenger in Vegas<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
Chantelle Cameron<\/strong> plans to shine in Las Vegas and punish trash-talking challenger Melissa Hernandez<\/strong> when she defends her WBC World Super-Lightweight title on Saturday May 29 at the Michelob ULTRA Arena at Mandalay Bay, live worldwide on DAZN.

 Cameron (13-0 7 KOs) makes the first defense of the title that she won in October in a clash that was due to take place in March, but the Briton suffered whiplash from a car accident during training camp and the fight had to be pushed back.
 
Cameron says Hernandez (23-7-2 7 KOs) doubted that the injury was legitimate, which has lit a fire inside the champion, who wants to put the Puerto Rican away in style \u2013 but she won\u2019t get reckless as the Northampton, England ace wants to cement her place at the top table before targeting her domestic rivals in huge dust-ups back home.
 
\u201cShe\u2019s just a hype job, she chat\u2019s shit saying I pulled out because I wasn\u2019t ready and the injury was a lie,\u201d said Cameron<\/strong>. \u201cListen, if I wasn\u2019t ready and was making excuses, I could have just said I had COVID instead of a car crash. Who lies about having a car crash? That\u2019s just stupid.
 
\u201cThat has put a bit of fire in me and I\u2019m glad, because it\u2019s given me an extra hunger and I will make her eat her words because she\u2019s nothing to be scared of. She\u2019s a trash talker, I\u2019m not, I do my business in the ring. Let her do her thing and I\u2019ll do mine, but as soon as that bell goes, I\u2019ll turn savage.
 
\u201cIt\u2019d be lovely to stop her, and if I do that, I want it to be a proper stoppage, not the referee stepping in, I want to stop her on her feet. But I\u2019m not looking for it, Jamie Moore and Nigel Travis have been amazing with my tactics, so I am not going to go in there and ruin my plan. She\u2019s a tricky opponent, she\u2019s slippery, smart, experienced, and if I go in there looking for a KO she could nick it on points, and that\u2019s not happening, that belt is coming back home with me.
 
\u201cWe don\u2019t overlook anyone, I\u2019m not disrespectful and I\u2019m zoned in on her. I have to get through Melissa, she\u2019s tough, but I feel my journey isn\u2019t stopping here, it\u2019s going forward. I refuse to lose. Whatever it takes, I will do it to win, because I know what the future can hold for me if I perform well and win.

“Lose, I go back to the drawing-board, and I can\u2019t think about that. I want to be in the big fights, Katie Taylor, Natasha Jonas, Terri Harper, Shannon Courtenay, Ebanie Bridges, all those fights, because I don\u2019t feel like I have had my moments yet.\u201d

Cameron faces Hernandez on a stacked card in Las Vegas, topped by unbeaten WBC World Lightweight champion Devin Haney<\/strong> (25-0 15 KOs) defending his title against former World ruler Jorge Linares<\/strong> (47-5 29 KOs).
 
There’s a fascinating battle between two Golden Boy Promotions stablemates as Jason Quigley<\/strong> (18-1 14 KOs) and Shane Mosley Jr <\/strong>(17-3 10 KOs) go toe-to-toe for the WBO NABO Middleweight title and it\u2019s a huge night for Martin J. Ward<\/strong> (24-1-2 11 KOs) as he faces Azinga Fuzile<\/strong> (14-1 8 KOs) in a final eliminator for the IBF World Super-Featherweight title.
 
There\u2019s a professional debut on the card for Eddie Hearn\u2019s latest American signing, Khalil Coe<\/strong>, Reshat Mati<\/strong> (9-0 7 KOs) enters double figures in the pro game on the night, Ramla Ali<\/strong> (2-0) has been impressive in her two fights since turning pro in October and the first pro female fighter from Somalia gets an introduction to American fight fans on the bill, a card that is rounded off by Devin Haney Promotions\u2019 Amari Jones <\/strong>(1-0 1 KO) fighting in the paid ranks for the second time after his debut in April.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
