Briton Cameron to face Mayer in unification bout

Briton Chantelle Cameron will meet American Mikaela Mayer in a light-middleweight world title unification bout in Birmingham on 29 August.

Cameron, 35, beat Michaela Kotaskova to win the vacant WBO title in April and is aiming to add Mayer's WBC and WBA belts to her collection.

Fellow Briton Caroline Dubois is also on the all-female Most Valuable Promotions card at BP Pulse, when she defends her WBC and WBO lightweight belts against American Amelia Moore.

Northampton fighter Cameron has 22 wins from 23 fights as a professional, including a victory over Ireland's Katie Taylor in 2023.

"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," Cameron said.

"We're both top-five pound-for-pound fighters, we're both world champions, and we're both coming to win."

Mayer, 35, last fought in October when beating Mary Spencer and has a record of 22 wins in 24 bouts.
