Follow Mail Sport's live blog for the latest news and round-by-round updates as Katie Taylor takes on Chantelle Cameron for the second time aiming to become the undisputed Light-Welterweight champion.

'I'll fight anyone'

Strong words from Barrett post-bout.

'It was ok. It was good to get out and he's a good fighter.

'I will put people in positions where they have to fight me. I have the best promotor in the world. Trust the process. As long as I get the preparation, it's perfect. But it has to make sense.'

'I'll fight anyone, just give me the right preparation and carrott at the end.'

Barrett beats Ion by unanimous decision

Barrett started to move forward more often as the fight went on, a few more body shots. Ion gave it a good go but Barrett has done his job.

Ion was doing alright until he walked into a right hand in the seventh. Barrett sensed blood but it was too close to the end of the round to finish the job.

The Romanian was bleeding at the end of the round. It went the distance but Barrett got it done.

Barrett vs Ion well underway

We're halfway through the fourth fight of the fight, which is Zelfa Barrett vs Costin Ion.

Barrett is well on top, as expected, using the ring well and his jab has been great. But Ion has been throwing a few shots too, and many may have throught the job would be done by now.

Last time

When the two women in tonight's main event faced off for the first time, it was billed as the homecoming for Taylor, who had enjoyed success all over the world and was undefeated.

But things didn't go to plan. Taylor struggled throughout, and Cameron took the match via amjority decision.

It was originally supposed to be Taylor versus Ama nda Serrano pulled out through injury, with Cameron stepping in and the bout being for the undisputed super lightweight championship.
