Press Release: November 1, 2025 By Most Valuable Promotions - Most Valuable Promotions (MVP) today (October 31st) announced that WBC Super Lightweight world champion, Chantelle Cameron has decided to vacate her WBC Super Lightweight Title as part of her continued commitment to advancing choice and equality in women’s boxing.
Cameron’s decision follows her longstanding position that women should have the option to compete under the same rules as men, including three-minute rounds, rather than the two-minute rounds mandated by the WBC for women’s fights.
“Women’s boxing has come a long way, but there’s still progress to be made,” said Chantelle Cameron. “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.”
“Chantelle has never backed down from a challenge, inside or outside the ring,” said Nakisa Bidarian, co-founder of Most Valuable Promotions. “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 will continue to pursue championship opportunities and marquee bouts maintaining the choice to fight three-minute rounds, and she remains focused on returning to the ring in early 2026.
