"I knew I was the better boxer but it's hard not to get into a scrap."

The Northampton fighter admitted she was expecting the toughest fight of her career against McCaskill, who is the undisputed welterweight champion.

She dropped down a division to try and become a two-time undisputed champion, but wasn't up to the task as Cameron grabbed the glory at the Etihad Arena.

Cameron has now won all 17 of her professional fights, and said she is now keen to step up a weight and take McCaskill's welterweight's belts off her.

"She was the toughest opponent I've ever had," said the former Kings Heath amateur.

"She's undisputed at 147, I got the win unanimous so let's go again at 147 and I'll take those belts off her.

"I put my belts on the line so she can whack hers on the line and we'll go again."
