Cameron has fought all over England and Scotland, but this will also be her first time in Dublin. The Brit is used to fighting in hostile environments. She is looking to defy the literal and figurative odds and crash Taylor's return home.
"It will be hostile, but it will give me a lift, make me more up for it," Cameron told ESPN. "I've got no pressure on me, whereas Katie has got all the pressure on her — they are all there to see her. People are overlooking me, it's all about Katie's homecoming, and I'm going to shock a lot of people by ruining that homecoming."
