'Oops' – Chantelle Cameron mistaken for nemesis Katie Taylor as ...
KATIE TAYLOR and Chantelle Cameron have become inter-linked following their pair of all-time classics in Dublin.
However, the British boxer revealed one instance where that proved quite literal.

Taylor and Cameron fought twice in 2023. Their first, in May, saw the latter stun the Bray Bomber at the 3Arena in her first professional fight on home soil.
They rematched just six months later, once again at the 3Arena, with Taylor this time emerging victorious to add the undisputed super lightweight titles to her lightweight crown.
Cameron was at the WBC Convention in Germany on Wednesday, where it was revealed that KT had relinquished her WBC belt at 135lbs.
And in an awkward moment, the 33-year-old revealed a photo of her but with Katie Taylor's name on it.
It is quite a literal example of how the two rivals' names are closely linked with an appetite for a third, rubber fight.
She ramped up that talk further on social media by retweeting a fan's desire for a third fight to happen next.
The fan was reacting to a report that Taylor's promoter Eddie Hearn was pursuing talks for a trilogy between his client and Amanda Serrano at Croke Park.
The Irishwoman, 38, clinched her second win over Serrano with a unanimous decision victory in Texas last month.
The fan in question posted: "Has to be @chantellecam
"Katie has beat Amanda twice nothing to prove whereas it’s one a piece with Chantelle & it has the making of another war.."

While her next opponent is not known, it is certain to once again be at super lightweight after she relinquished her WBC lightweight belt.
The Bray woman, 38, has held the WBC strap since 2019, when she beat Delfine Persoon to become undisputed champ at 135lbs.
She has not fought at lightweight since 2022, with her last three fights - against Chantelle Cameron (2) and Amanda Serrano - being at super lightweight where she is also undisputed.
Caroline Dubois was crowned interim champion with a unanimous points victory over Maira Moneo in August.
And on Wednesday, it was revealed that she had been promoted to champion proper after Taylor had relinquished the WBC belt.
The 23-year-old would have been Taylor's next mandatory challenger, with Wednesday's news the clearance indication that the Irishwoman could stay at 140lbs.
However, asked if she was disappointed to have lost the chance to fight the Bray woman, Dubois told Sky Sports: "I understand the boxing game completely.
"For me, I am so grateful that I don't need Katie Taylor in my career.
"It would be an amazing fight if it happens, and if it happens, you know I will be ready but if it doesn't happen, there are so many other fights out there for me to fight that would just be as legacy making.
"I am happy to go my way and she can go hers."
