Mark Robinson / Most Valuable PromotionsMikaela Mayer and Chantelle Cameron are set to collide in a junior middleweight unification showdown at the bp pulse LIVE Arena in Birmingham, England, on August 29.
In chief support, Caroline Dubois is set to defend her lightweight titles against Amelia Moore which is keeping in theme with the event; every bout on the card, promoted by MVP, will be UK vs. US.
Cameron, 22-1 (8 KOs), won the WBO 154lbs title in April. It’s a belt that Mayer, who holds the WBC and WBC straps, had given up only months before. Both now get the chance to wear three titles simultaneously following their 10-round bout.
“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 Mayer, 22-2 (5 KOs), via the MVP press release. “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 added: “I am over the moon this fight has been made… I’ve always said I want the biggest fights in women’s boxing and there isn’t a bigger fight right now than me and Mikaela Mayer.”
"I'm excited to be fighting in the UK at home again," Dubois said. "The crowd in London last time was incredible. I am looking forward to representing the UK on this card and defending my unified titles.
"The goal is to fight for more belts at the end of the year so I need to focus and take care of business with a big win in Birmingham."
Moore, however, is eyeing the upset ov er the WBC and WBO lightweight champion.
“I’ve spent most of my life pursuing this sport,” she said. Three Olympic cycles, countless international tournaments, years of learning, growing, and preparing for moments like this. I respect Caroline and the path she’s taken to become world champion. “That’s what makes this opportunity so meaningful. When the best are willing to face the best, everybody wins.”
The event will be shown live on ESPN+ in the US and Sky Sports in the UK.
