Basheel looking to make Cameron a stepping stone for Taylor

Anisha Basheel is supremely confident of blasting the undefeated Chantelle Cameron aside to earn a shot at unified world champion Katie Taylor.

‘The Massacre’ (8-5, 8 KOs) arrives from Malawi for Saturday’s hotly-anticipated WBC final eliminator on #MTKFightNight and believes her undoubted power will be far too much for host Cameron (10-0, 7 KOs) to cope with.

Ahead of a potentially life-changing 10-rounder, Basheel, who is on a run of eight straight knockout wins, said in a press release “My power comes from heart. They call me ‘The Massacre’ and I’m going to massacre Cameron on Saturday night.

“I believe I’m stronger than her. I’m not coming for a holiday. I’m not coming for shopping or to see London. I’m not coming for chit-chat and tea. I’m coming all guns blazing.

“Fans can expect me to show that I’m the true lightweight champion of the world. Katie Taylor – you’re next! ‘The Massacre’ is coming for you too.

“Meeting Taylor is what every female lightweight wants right now because the dream is to be a unified world champion. It doesn’t get any bigger than that – it’s the ultimate.

“Beating Cameron is just a key to opening the big door. My eyes are on the big prize and Cameron is just a bridge to walk over on my way to beating Katie.

“I hope Taylor shows up on the night to see what she’s going to go up against. I look forward to meeting her. I’m going to knock Cameron out and then I’m going to take her belts.”

Joining this spectacular collision for the WBC Silver crown is a WBO European title clash between undefeated Michael McKinson and Russian puncher Evgeny Pavko plus a Southern Area showdown between Shaquille Day and Louis Adolphe.

A stellar undercard includes the likes of unbeaten super-lightweight Harlem Eubank, former world kickboxing king Jay Whelan and promising debutant Jack Martin.
