Chantelle Cameron is set to make history when she faces Michaela Kotaskova for the WBO super-welterweight title on April 5, becoming one of the first women to compete in three-minute rounds at the world championship level. The bout, which will headline a Sky Sports card featuring Caroline Dubois' unification fight, marks a significant evolution in women's boxing.

Cameron, who has trained extensively for the longer rounds, believes the change will showcase women's boxing at its highest level. The Northampton fighter has been preparing for 10 three-minute rounds, expressing confidence that the extended duration plays to her strengths. Her promoter Nakisa Bidarian confirmed that both the WBO and the British Boxing Board of Control support the move to three-minute rounds.

The fight carries added significance for Cameron, who sees it as an opportunity to prove a point after her only professional defeat to Katie Taylor. The former undisputed champion is convinced that three-minute rounds would have changed the outcome of their rematch, claiming Taylor was "hanging on for dear life" during their two-minute round contest. With Taylor's future fights uncertain, Cameron views this title opportunity as her chance to lead the way for women's boxing and demonstrate that female fighters can maintain elite performance over extended periods.
