Chantelle Cameron says she has "refused" to watch the television coverage of her defeat to Katie Taylor in last month's rematch between the two as she's heard it was "biased".
Taylor beat Cameron by majority decision at the 3Arena, avenging the defeat which the English fighter inflicted on her at the same venue in May. The bout, which resulted in Taylor becoming an undisputed two-weight world champion, was shown live on DAZN.
Like her trainer Jamie Moore following the fight, Cameron also had some complaints about the referee Roberto Ramirez Jr.
"I've been hearing about the commentary being so biased," Cameron told BBC Radio Northampton.
"It's not the time to watch it back at the minute because it will just make me more angry. For the time being, I'm going to let it settle a bit.

"It's been really difficult. It just sucks because I lost my belts as well. It's not just a loss.
"It wasn't just me and Katie Taylor in that ring. If it was just me and Katie, I would take the loss and be like 'The better woman won on the night', but it wasn't.... I had everything against me. The ref was.
"Even someone from Matchroom said, 'Who was that ref?' It's such a high status fight, why would you put in a referee that no one has heard of?
"That's not my job. My job is to fight. I don't look into who's reffing, who's judging. I'm just frustrated. If I could turn back the hands of time, I would have made sure that was all looked into."

Speaking on the MMA Hour on Monday, Eddie Hearn said a second rematch between Cameron and Taylor could happen "outdoors, maybe at Croke Park, maybe at the Aviva, whatever. It's going to be another monumental event for Irish boxing".
Hearn, promoter for both fighters, added that talks about holding the fight at Croke Park are "ongoing".
"We won't rub anyone up the wrong way," he said.
"We're all working to try and make [it happen]."

Cameron, who received the freedom of her home town Northampton at a ceremony on Tuesday, said she wants the fight, "but let's see what Matchroom do".
"Matchroom haven't reached out to me at all," Cameron continued.
"I've been getting sent a few articles with Eddie saying this, Frank (Smith) saying that. Eddie and Frank haven't even contacted me once after the fight. It's all news to me.
"Everything that I see on Instagram... I see it before I'm actually approached. I want the trilogy. It doesn't matter where it is. She's the champion. I've got to do what I've got to do to make sure the trilogy happens. I just want that fight. I want my belts back."
