Northampton world champion Cameron agrees blockbuster unification showdown with Mayer

WBO super welterweight world champion Cameron will square up to USA's unified WBA and WBC super welterweight world champion Mayer in a 10-round contest, with the winner walking away with all three belts.

The fight is the headline bout in an exciting Most Valuable Promotions show that features all female fights that will pit UK fighters against Americans.

Cameron and Mayer's top billing will be shared with the clash between the UK's unified WBC and WBO lightweight world champion Caroline Dubois and Amelia Moore of the USA.

The MVPW-06 UK vs USA show will be staged at the bp pulse LIVE arena in Birmingham on August 29, with the action being shown live on Sky Sports.

Cameron won the WBO super welterweight title as she overpowered Michaela Kotaskova in April.

That was a belt Mayer had won then vacated just months prior, and the American will now be aiming to reclaim it alongside her WBA and WBC titles.

Cameron will go into the fight with a professional record of 22 wins and one loss, which came in controversial fashion to Katie Taylor, while Mayer has lost two of her 22 bouts - both of those defeats coming in the UK against Alycia Baumgardner in 2022 and Natasha Jonas in 2024.

"I am over the moon this fight has been made," Cameron told Sky Sports.

"I've always said I want the biggest fights in women's boxing, and there isn't a bigger fight right now than me against Mikaela Mayer.

"We're both top-five pound-for-pound fighters, we're both world champions, and we're both coming to win."

"I think women's boxing needed a fight like this. I think our styles are just going to make for a good fight. I think it's the female fight of the year."

Mayer said: "Cameron has always been a name I've hoped to add to my resume and a fight I feel the sport of boxing deserves.

"With our come forward, aggressive styles, I have no doubt that it will be one of the most exciting fights of our generation.

"I'm excited for this fight. I wanted to fight Chantelle Cameron for a long time, and I think that she's wanted it as well."

The clash between Cameron and Mayer will be both fighters' first defences at 154lbs and will be contested over 10 two-minute rounds.

MVP co-founders Jake Paul and Nakisa Bidarian are delighted to have set up such a high-profile contest and show - declaring that Cameron a GOAT (greatest of all time) of women's boxing.

They released a joint statement that read: "MVPW-06 UK vs USA delivers one of the most important fights that can be made in boxing.

"A pound-for-pound match-up of this magnitude is nearly impossible to make; two of the world's top 10 fighters meeting in their prime.

"Mikaela Mayer and Chantelle Cameron have consistently sought out the toughest challenges available, and this fight is no different.

"Chantelle is one of the GOATs of women's boxing, bar none. She went to Ireland and defeated Katie Taylor and almost did it a second time.

"Mikaela is one of the sport's biggest faces who has delivered big fights and big ratings. This will be a fight of the year contender."

When asked about her previous two defeats on British soil, Mayer admitted: "I know I haven't had always the best luck over there in the UK, but I've always said that hasn't deterred me from going back there.

"I love fighting over there, I love the fans over there, the people, the energy in the arena - it's always great. I'm just going to have to go and get it done this time. Three's a charm!"
