Most Valuable Promotions officially announced today that they\u2019ve set a women\u2019s super welterweight title unification between Mikaela Mayer and Chantelle Cameron, which will headline a MVPW-06 card on August 29 in Birmingham, England. The card will stream live on both Sky Sports and ESPN+.<\/p>\n
Mayer (22-2, 5 KOs) holds the WBC and WBA world titles and is most recently coming off a unanimous decision win over Mary Spencer last October.<\/p>\n
\u201cChantelle Cameron has always been a name I\u2019ve hoped to add to my resume and a fight I feel the sport of boxing deserves,\u201d said Mikaela Mayer. \u201cWith our come forward, aggressive styles, I have no doubt that it will be one of the most exciting fights of our generation. Giving the fans the fights they wanna see is what I do best\u2026so here you go. Again.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cameron (22-1, 8 KOs) holds the WBO world title and most recently took a decision over Michaela Kotaskova this past April.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am over the moon this fight has been made. I asked MVP for this fight and they have delivered,\u201d said Chantelle Cameron. \u201cI\u2019ve always said I want the biggest fights in women\u2019s boxing, and there isn\u2019t a bigger fight right now than me against Mikaela Mayer. We\u2019re both top-five pound-for-pound fighters, we\u2019re both world champions, and we\u2019re both coming to win.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve been vocal about wanting to compete under equal rules and fight three-minute rounds, and that\u2019s still something I strongly believe in. But Mikaela is the unified champion at 154 pounds and has made it clear she wants this fight over two-minute rounds, so I respect that. For me, the most important thing was making the biggest fight possible for the sport and giving the fans the matchup they\u2019ve been asking for. Thanks to my team, MVP, and Sky Sports for this huge opportunity. Saturday, August 29th. Let\u2019s go.\u201d<\/p>\n
Also on the card will be a co-feature from Caroline Dubois (13-0-1, 5 KOs), who will take on Amelia Moore (4-0, 1 KO) as chief support to the main event.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Most Valuable Promotions officially announced today that they\u2019ve set a women\u2019s super welterweight title unification between Mikaela Mayer…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":727574,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[571],"tags":[64,63,802,1920,85],"class_list":["post-727573","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-boxing","tag-boxing-news","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/727573","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=727573"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/727573\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/727574"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=727573"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=727573"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=727573"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
