A purse bid between Chantelle Cameron and Sandy Ryan is no longer needed because Cameron vacated her WBC super lightweight title.

The 34-year-old Cameron’s issue with the sanctioning body stems from what she views as an overall problem in women’s boxing. What she wants, and what she believes is fair, is for women to compete in three-minute rounds as opposed to two minutes.

“Women’s boxing has come a long way, but there’s still progress to be made,” Cameron said in a statement released by Most Valuable Promotions. “I’ve always believed in equality, and that includes the choice to fight equal rounds, equal opportunities, and equal respect. I’m proud of my accomplishment in becoming a WBC champion, but it’s time to take a stand for what’s right and for the future of the sport.”

The WBC has long stood firm on its stance of refusing to increase women’s time limit from two to three minutes.

To defend his argument, Mauricio Sulaiman, its current president, pointed out that in other sports men and women play under slightly different rules.

“(In) tennis – women play 3 sets,” Sulaiman wrote on his X account. “(In) basketball, the basket is shorter and the ball smaller and those are not contact sports. We stand by safety and well-being of the fighters.”

While she no longer holds that WBC strap, Nakisa Bidarian, co-founder of MVP, believes England’s Cameron (21-1, 8 KOs) made the right decision.

“Chantelle has never backed down from a challenge, inside or outside the ring,” Bidarian said. “This decision underscores her integrity and her leadership as one of the sport’s elite fighters. MVP stands firmly behind Chantelle and her commitment to help drive women’s boxing toward true parity.”

Cameron, who has lost only a majority decision to Katie Taylor in their 10-round rematch, is ranked No. 3 on The Ring’s pound-for-pound list. Ireland’s Taylor (25-1, 6 KOs), whom Cameron beat by majority decision in their first fight, is ranked No. 1.
