To me, I am the underdog.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Obviously it&#8217;s lovely to know that people are looking at me now as the favourite. But, to me, my mindset is that I am the underdog and that I&#8217;m not expected to win.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I am here, I am in Dublin, I am singing to Katie&#8217;s tune again but I need to make sure I go in there and spoil the party again. My mentality is that I am the underdog and I need to keep that mentality.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/25\/19\/78114699-12790901-Cameron_retained_her_WBC_WBA_IBF_and_WBO_light_welterweight_belt-a-16_1700941587641.jpg\" height=\"457\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Cameron retained her WBC, WBA, IBF and WBO light-welterweight belts six months ago<\/p>\n<p>Cameron started exceptionally well during the first fight. She came flying out of the corner and looked to land the first punch. It was an uncharacteristic approach from the 32-year-old but it worked.<\/p>\n<p>Cameron kept coming forwards and used her strength to land powerful shots. While Taylor&#8217;s game plan was centered around her speed and quick combinations. However, it was power that ended up winning the fight.<\/p>\n<p>When asked whether he was surprised by Taylor&#8217;s tactics in the opening couple of rounds, Cameron said: &#8216;Katie started differently to how I thought she would start. But, Katie&#8217;s not as strong as me.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;She can come and try meet me in the middle but I can fight on the inside, I can fight on the outside.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I am all wrong for Katie Taylor. If she comes out and tries to stamp her authority on the fight, she is going to meet me in the middle and she will come out second best.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/11\/25\/19\/78179677-12790901-Cameron_win_via_majority_decision_in_their_first_meeting_back_in-a-18_1700941595852.jpg\" height=\"425\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>The British boxer (right) won via majority decision in their first meeting back in May this year<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Looking back at the first fight, there was obviously things I did wrong. I was looking back at the first fight thinking oh god, that wasn&#8217;t good. I looked at things Katie did, I looked at her flaws, her strengths and I looked back at that and thought it had to be a better fight.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Katie came in with her head a lot. If you looked at my head at the end of the fight, there were a lot of lumps and they weren&#8217;t from punches. I had bruises on my arms from punches on the arms but not on my head.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I&#8217;ve got to make sure I keep my head out of the way of her head because she comes in with her head a lot. When she is holding too, I need to make sure I don&#8217;t let her. I&#8217;ve got to do what I&#8217;ve got to do. I am prepared for getting out of that hold. I need to make sure I make her pay for it when she does hold me too.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>But, Taylor is refusing to let that get to her. Speaking at Thursday&#8217;s press conference, she said:\u00a0&#8216;There is nothing else to say really. I am just ready to fight.\u00a0I hate all the talk, I hate all these press conferences. There is nothing to say. I am just ready to fight at this stage. I am excited and very grateful to have this opportunity.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I am ready for whatever comes my way. I am ready to dig deep when I have to. That is why I put my body through the trenches week in, week out throughout training camps to be ready for these situations.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/i\/pix\/2023\/10\/25\/The%20Hook_Promo_Desktop.636.png\"><br \/>\nSource: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/sport\/boxing\/article-12790901\/Ed-Sheeran-arrives-ringside-ahead-Katie-Taylors-rematch-Chantelle-Cameron-Dublin-poses-fans-taking-seat-Eddie-Hearn.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Boxing&#8217;s A Team!
