British boxer Cameron vacates WBC belt in stand against rules for women boxers
The British fighter chose to relinquish her prestigious boxing title on recently as an act of defiance against existing rules in female boxing, insisting on the right to compete in three-minute rounds similar to male counterparts.
Demonstration against inequality
Cameron’s decision to vacate her title originates from her clear disagreement with the WBC’s rule that women boxers fight in shorter rounds, which the experienced fighter considers unequal treatment.
“The sport for women has come a long way, but there’s still room for improvement,” Cameron stated. “My conviction has always been in equality and that includes the choice to have identical rules, equal opportunities, and the same recognition.”
Context of the championship
Cameron was promoted to WBC super-lightweight world champion when the previous title holder was designated “inactive champion” as she paused from the sport. The WBC was preparing for a financial bid on Friday for a fight between the champion and compatriot her potential opponent.
Prior instance
In December 2023, Amanda Serrano similarly gave up her belt after the council refused to allow her to participate in matches under the equivalent rules as men’s boxing, with longer duration fights.
Council’s stance
The council head, Mauricio Sulaimán, had declared earlier in 2023 that they would not sanction extended rounds in female matches. “In tennis female players compete 3 sets, for basketball the hoop is lower and the size is reduced and those are not contact sports. We prioritize the health and protection of the boxers,” he wrote on social media.
Present practice
Typically women’s championship matches have 10 rounds of shorter duration each, and Cameron was one of more than two dozen boxers – such as Serrano – who launched a campaign in last year to have the right to participate under the same rules as men.
Fighting history
The boxer, who boasts a impressive fight record, emphasized that her stand extends beyond her own wishes, presenting it as a battle for the next wave of female boxers. “I feel proud of my success in becoming a WBC champion, but it’s time to take a stand for what’s right and for the future of the sport,” she added.
Next steps
Cameron is not leaving from professional fighting completely, however, with her promoters MVP saying she plans to pursue other championship opportunities and prestigious matches while persisting in her requirement on participating in three-minute rounds.
