With all this hardware on the line, the winner moves a step closer to achieving undisputed status.
It’s relatively late in her career. But, as she has done since her pro debut, Mikaela Mayer (22-2, 5 KOs) is still chasing legacy.
On August 29 (live on Sky Sports in the U.S.), the WBO, WBA and WBC 154-pound titles are all up for grabs when Mayer and Chantelle Cameron (22-2, 8 KOs) headline in the main event in Birmingham, England.
With all this hardware on the line, the winner moves a step closer to achieving undisputed status.
California native Mayer, the WBA and WBC champion, faces Britain’s Cameron, who holds the WBO belt. They will meet with the winner capturing three of the division’s four belts and moving a step closer to a shot at undisputed status.
Mayer, a ground-breaker in women’s boxing, turned pro in 2017 in her native California after signing with Top Rank Boxing. She quickly added the NABF super feather title to her trophy case.
By 2020, at 13-0, she captured her first world title. From that point on, her career has been titles, unifications, and big fights – just as she wants it.
After 1 title defence, she added the IBF 130-pound belt and after another title defence lost a disputed unification bout for all the 130 marbles against Alicia Baumgartner in the UK. In her very next fight, in the spring of 2023, she captured the WBC 135-pound belt.
Then, 2 fights later, in January 2024, she lost another questionable SD to Natasha Jones in England in a jump-up for her IBF welter strap. England was not being kind to Mikaela on the scorecards.
However, in the fall of 2024, she won the WBO world welterweight title and was a world champion again. After adding the WBC 147 belt in October 2025, she put herself in a position for the big fight against Cameron this month.
Hopefully, Mayer will have better luck on the scorecards if it goes the distance against Cameron. Whatever the outcome, Mayer will enter the ring with the same drive and attitude she has always held throughout her career. She will look to add to her legacy with another big title win.
Speaking recently with ESPN, Mayer stated, “You’ve got to be willing to take the risks and make the biggest fights,” she said. “That’s the legacy I’m going to have when I hang it up, I fought the best fights, and I always challenged myself and did what I had to.”
