'Katie won't be able to sleep until that fight happens. We'll discuss the rematch later.'
Taylor, who had gone up a division to meet Cameron, looked tired from the start.
Hearn even questioned her lengthy ring walk, saying it was emotionally draining.
Taylor showed some lightning speed combinations in the later rounds but they weren't enough.
Cameron landed some heavy shots which Taylor struggled to answer.
'I expected everything that came my way but I just came up short tonight,' she said.
