Sponsorship for Chantelle

Opus Energy, the Northampton-based B2B energy supplier, has announced its sponsorship support for Northampton-born female boxer Chantelle Cameron.

Chantelle will join Daniel Keatings, gymnastics World silver medallist and European champion, in a line-up of sporting talent being supported by Opus Energy as it looks to develop potential of all types in the local community.

Chantelle is currently on the Great Britain women’s boxing programme training full time in the lightweight (60kg) weight class. At just 21 years old, she already holds a wealth of achievements in both national and international competitions, after only 2 ½ years in the sport.

She has competed in the National ABA boxing championships and won silver representing England at the EU championships. Prior to taking up women's boxing, Chantelle was the undefeated British and World kickboxing champion, with five title belts to her name.

Her swift success has led her to dream of winning Olympic Gold at Rio 2016, a goal well within her reach. Chantelle narrowly missed out on being selected for the 2012 Olympics team simply down to a lack of experience which will not be the case when selection is made for the Olympics in Rio 2016.

Annamarie Petsis Jones, HR Director, Opus Energy, commented on the new sponsorship: “We at Opus Energy feel confident that Chantelle has the drive and talent to reach her goal. Her commitment to giving back to the community is inspiring and she acts as a valuable role model to aspiring sportspeople, both in Northamptonshire and further.”

Chantelle added: “It’s an incredible boost to be chosen for sponsorship by a local company like Opus Energy. As well as supporting me with my day-to-day living, I hope that their sponsorship will also help to shine more of a spotlight on boxing. Being backed like this only makes me more determined to get to Rio and show the U.K. what I’m made of.”
