LAST evening, the squared circle gave us the start of a possible new star at super-bantamweight, domination from the most effective feminine fighters on the planet and a few Texas revenge.
Shabaz Masoud, Chantelle Cameron and O’Shaquie Foster at the moment are in place to land an enormous combat in 2025. However who might lie in await the triumphant trio, and what’s subsequent for Liam Davies after his spectacular run ended?
Each Masoud and Davies can transfer on to large fights in 2025.
Shabaz Masoud and Liam Davies
Their beginner historical past created knowledgeable rivalry within the build-up that felt actual and was not compelled to promote tickets. Masoud proved what many individuals thought: that he would rise to the event for his largest take a look at. Davies might have been too wound up and in love with the ability that stopped his final three opponents.
Masoud now holds the IBO super-bantamweight belt and the winner of December’s conflict between Dennis McCann and Peter McGrail is a practical choice. The division received’t know undisputed champion Naoya Inoue’s plans till after his combat with Sam Goodman on Christmas Eve. Matchroom might contemplate pairing Masoud with former Inoue opponent TJ Doheny however his group should now capitalise on this win and construct to one thing even larger.
Davies will realise what he did fallacious in opposition to Masoud and a combat in opposition to somebody like Doheny will surely swimsuit his type higher.
Cameron could possibly be one win away from getting her world titles again.
Chantelle Cameron
The previous undisputed super-lightweight champion seems to have discovered a brand new lease of life since shifting to Grant Smith’s gymnasium. Cameron put in knowledgeable efficiency in opposition to Patricia Berghult and the consequence was by no means unsure. The 33-year-old will look to the November 15 rematch between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano with the winner very a lot in Cameron’s sights. Shifting as much as welterweight in 2025 to problem Natasha Jonas or Mikaela Mayer for his or her world titles can’t be dominated out both.
Foster needs to unify the super-featherweight division.
O’Shaquie Foster
The 31-year-old levelled the rating at 1-1 in opposition to Robson Conceicao after being unfortunate to lose the primary encounter in July. Foster regained his WBC super-featherweight title and can hope to unify in 2025. The Prime Rank fighter already has his eyes on going through the winner of the rematch between WBO champion Emmanuel Navarrete and Oscar Valdez. Elsewhere at 130lbs, WBA titlist Lamont Roach is shifting as much as face Gervonta Davis, whereas Anthony Cacace might vacate his IBF title as an alternative of going through obligatory challenger Eduardo Nunez.
