Fighter Matchup and Styles

Chantelle Cameron (England, orthodox, age 34, 5’8″ / 173 cm, reach 69″ / 175 cm, fighting out of Northampton) is a former undisputed super lightweight world champion (140 lbs) stepping up two weight classes. She is an elite pressure fighter with strong volume, body work, and proven championship pedigree.

Michaela Kotaskova (Czech Republic, fighting out of Vienna, Austria, age 34) is an undefeated prospect with regional title experience (including WBF World Welter). She relies on durability, work rate, and volume but faces a massive step-up in class and physicality.

This is an elite veteran vs. undefeated regional contender clash with the WBO belt on the line. No prior head-to-head. Cameron fights in front of a home UK crowd on a high-profile MVP card, while Kotaskova travels as the heavy underdog.
