She still presently holds the WBC and WBA titles at 154 pounds; those two sanctioning bodies play faster and looser with their rules than the others, so no telling how long they\u2019ll let her keep them.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Going from a division where she holds three belts to one where she holds just one initially seems counterproductive, but she\u2019s one fight away either way. 2020 bronze medalist Oshae Jones holds the IBF title at 154, while Lauren Price (9-0, 2 KO) holds the WBC, WBA, and IBF belts at 147.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Mayer (22-2, 5 KO) had a banner 2025, dousing the controversy of her first win over Sandy Ryan with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.badlefthook.com\/2025\/3\/29\/24396970\/mikaela-mayer-wins-rematch-sandy-ryan-targets-undisputed-fight-lauren-price-boxing-news-2025\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">decisive victory in their rematch<\/a> before outclassing Mary Spencer for three belts in October. She could very easily be 24-0 with slightly different judging and remains one of the best female fighters in the game at 35 years old.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">That said, he also claimed Price would fight next month in Cardiff and we\u2019ve yet to get any update on that, sho who knows.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Mikaela Mayer\u2019s quest for an undisputed title will continue at 147 pounds, as WBO president Gustavo Olivieiri announced&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":371520,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[2560,6102,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-371519","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-boxing","tag-boxing-news","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/371519","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=371519"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/371519\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/371520"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=371519"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=371519"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=371519"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
