Most Valuable Promotions officially announced today that they’ve set a women’s 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+.
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.
“Chantelle Cameron has always been a name I’ve hoped to add to my resume and a fight I feel the sport of boxing deserves,” said Mikaela Mayer. “With 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…so here you go. Again.”
Cameron (22-1, 8 KOs) holds the WBO world title and most recently took a decision over Michaela Kotaskova this past April.
“I am over the moon this fight has been made. I asked MVP for this fight and they have delivered,” said Chantelle Cameron. “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’ve been vocal about wanting to compete under equal rules and fight three-minute rounds, and that’s 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’ve been asking for. Thanks to my team, MVP, and Sky Sports for this huge opportunity. Saturday, August 29th. Let’s go.”
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.
