Chantelle Cameron is now the full WBC light-welterweight world champion as Katie Taylor was named "champion in recess." This came after Taylor chose to take a break from boxing, prompting Cameron's promotion from interim status. Cameron, with an impressive record, is set to face Sandy Ryan in a mandatory defense while Taylor holds the WBC emeritus champion title, positioning her for a title shot upon her return to the sport.
