The Olympic champion adds the WBA, WBC, WBO and IBF super lightweight belts to the lightweight ones she already possesses.
After the bout, Taylor called for a third fight against Cameron to be held at Croke Park.

Naas' Gary Cully put his career back on track with a controversial split decision success over Reece Mould on the undercard of the Katie Taylor fight.

Six months on from the shock loss to Jose Felix, the Kildare boxer produced a cagey performance that one judge scored 97-93 in favour of the away fighter.

However Cully took the victory 97-93 96-93 with the other two judges.
