Former world champion Chantelle Cameron returned to winning ways with a solid points win over Elhem Mekhaled at Birmingham's Resort World Arena.Mekhaled showed a willingness to stand and trade but Cameron was the deserved winner in her first outing since losing the undisputed light-welterweight crown to Katie Taylor
The Northampton boxer was making her Queensberry debut after signing with promoter Frank Warren this year. In her first fight under the tutelage of trainer Grant Smith, Cameron landed flush left hooks and bullied the backtracking Mekhaled.But Mekhaled – who had only lost at the highest level in a 14-fight career with points defeats to Delfine Persoon and Alycia Baumgardner – did not back down.
Cameron said she is planning to return to the ring soon, adding: "It's my first camp with Grant - I just want to keep the momentum. I don't want to be waiting around." After the first encounter - a fight of the year contender - ended in a draw, the sequel did not disappoint as Heaney suffered a first career loss in his 20th fight.
