Katie Taylor vs Chantelle Cameron LIVE: Boxing results and reaction after Irish icon creates history in Dublin

This was not so much a turning back of the clock by Katie Taylor, but a defiant stopping of it, on a night when boxing and Ireland itself stopped in their tracks.

It was the same city, the same arena and the same ring where the Irish icon suffered her first ever professional defeat in May, and it was the same opponent in Chantelle Cameron. But the stakes were different in Dublin this time, and the result had to be for Taylor.

In the end, it was: a majority decision like six months ago, but this time in her favour, not Cameron’s. This time, it was the Englishwoman whose zero had to go, along with her undisputed super-lightweight titles. In a fight that was often messy, always mesmerising, and ultimately marginal, Taylor took all of those belts and added them to her undisputed lightweight gold.

It was another stupefying moment in a career full of them, as a pioneer of women’s boxing – the pioneer – collected more accolades, not just in Cameron’s belts but in avenging a loss for the first time. And to do that, the Olympic gold medalist, now 37, had to fight her conqueror, fatigue, demons and more. But in her corner was a sea of Irish souls, flags and voices, willing her to a monumental victory.

Main-event report from Dublin:

"They set the bar, she jumps over it, they set it a bit higher, she does it again,” says DAZN analyst Andy Lee.

“I thought it would be more the same. If she could turn it around, I said it would be one of the greatest comebacks of all time, and it certainly was.”

Taylor landed 74/200 (37%) in power punches.

Cameron landed 57/147 (39%) in power punches.

Taylor: “She's a legend, two legends in the ring, I don't think there's ever been a trilogy in women's boxing, this could be the first.

“You learn the most from your losses. You’re only a failure if you give up.

“Go again, don’t ever give up! Thank you all for an amazing victory, the whole world was praying for me this week.”

“The single greatest night I’ve experienced in the sport,” says Eddie Hearn.

“They doubted her, they wrote her off. She wasn’t prepared to let these guys down tonight.

“She’s one of the biggest living legends to come out of this country. Have you ever heard one person say a bad word about this woman?

“She deserves everything, she’s made you so proud tonight. A two-division undisputed world champion, the greatest night in her career.

“Croke Park has to happen, she’s done everything for the sport, she deserves it, next Spring and Summer, we’ll create an event.”

"Whoever wrote me off, they obviously don't know me very well. Don't ever doubt me!

“The last fight you saw the worst of me, tonight you see the real me, nobody can beat me.

“Let’s get the trilogy at Croke Park!”

Taylor: “Two-weight undisputed world champion, that sounds very nice.

“That was the longest six months of my life, waiting for the rematch.

“This is my real homecoming tonight.”
