The Cameron-McGee fight is the headline bout following the cancellation of Dillian Whyte’s heavyweight clash with Otto Wallin, and Moore is expecting his fighter to take her big chance to shine.
“It’s a been a great journey so far, and Chantelle is a great person to work with,” said Moore, whose gym is based in Salford in Manchester.
“She is a lovely girl and she is so talented, a real natural talent. I always said she can be a world champion, and she has fulfilled that.
“Eddie Hearn has given her the opportunity to build on that now, and create a legacy for herself which is unbelievable.”

“Psychologically they have a picture of where they want to be just before a fight, and Chantelle is exactly where she wanted to be, maybe even a bit better.
“Chantelle has been an absolute pleasure to work with, and I would love nothing more than for her to become the undisputed champion. On October 30 we will see a unified champion and a Ring Magazine belt holder in Chantelle Cameron.
“She will then go into the final full of confidence and in great form, and building towards a legacy.
“Because I do think that in the end, people are going to be talking about Chantelle Cameron as one of the best women fighters ever.”
