Queensberry Promotions today announced the signings of former undisputed super lightweight champion Chantelle Cameron and Aadam Hamed, son of featherweight Hall of Famer, Naseem Hamed.

It was confirmed earlier this week that 32-year-old Cameron had parted ways with Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom Boxing and the switch to Frank Warren’s Queensberry Promotions was a natural.

“You can expect fireworks,” Northampton’s Cameron said at today’s media conference to announce her new promotional stable. “I’m coming with vengeance and to get out all the frustrations I’ve endured with all the ups and downs.

“I’m over the moon, I can’t wait to get started with Queensberry. I’ve always liked Frank Warren, I think he keeps it real. I’m going to make a statement at 140 pounds, I’m coming to get my belts back.”

In her defining performance in May 2023, Cameron beat Katie Taylor over 10 rounds in Dublin, becoming the first boxer to do so in the professional ranks. She returned to the site of her victory, back in Taylor’s backyard, for the contractually mandated sequel six months later. Taylor was the deserved victor on the cards taking Cameron’s WBC, WBA, IBF and WBO belts in the process.

Taylor – promoted by Hearn – will now fight Amanda Serrano in July, something known to frustrate Cameron who had been eager for a third contest with the Irishwoman.

Cameron, 18-1 (8 KOs), indicated that a return to the UK could come in her next bout, which is set to be announced next week.

“I’m grateful to everyone who came to support me in Dublin,” she said. “It will be nice for my fans to not have to travel so far, to be able to get on a train or just jump in the car.”

Frank Warren added: “Next week you’ll see what her next fight will be. You’re going to love it. She’s a quality fighter.”

Hamed, meanwhile, follows in his father’s footsteps in joining up with Warren, the promoter who guided ‘Naz’ through his peak which remains a sizeable bookmark in British boxing history.

The super lightweight, who has been based in Dubai, turned professional in August last year with a first-round stoppage of the overmatched Vojtech Hardy on the undercard of Oleksandr Usyk-Daniel Dubois in Poland.

“I always wanted a UK promoter and I always knew in my heart that I wanted it to be Frank,” Hamed said. “I felt like he’s always going to look after me the most – I look at him like family, big up Uncle Frank.

“The hunger to be a fighter was always there – I came out of my dad. But I want make my own way, be my own man. I graft every day and take this serious and sooner or later you’re going to find out.”

Warren said: “He’s very hungry and he’s a very nice kid – I think he gets that from his mum! It’s tough coming [into boxing] with that burden of who your dad was. Having no experience makes it even tougher. It’s going to be a real hard journey, but I think he’s got the dedication for it.”
