Three Belts, Two Champions, One Bad Night Coming
Let's not beat around the bush — Cameron vs Mayer is the best women's fight that can be made right now, and it is happening in Birmingham tomorrow night. Mikaela Mayer brings the WBA and WBC super welterweight titles, Chantelle Cameron brings the WBO belt, and the winner walks out of bp pulse LIVE with three of the four and a straight run at undisputed.
The pair meet at a 148lb catchweight over twelve rounds, main card from 7pm on Sky Sports and ESPN+, ring walks expected around half nine. And the talk this week has been proper spicy.
Mayer Says It Won't Be Close
Mayer, 22-2, has been in full American-road-warrior mode all week, telling anyone with a microphone that she feels unbeatable and that this one "won't be close". Fair play — she has earned the swagger. The former unified champion at two weights has not lost since 2023 and is coming off another wide decision win.
Cameron's reply was pure Northampton: "It's going to take someone really good and special to beat me, and I just don't think that's Mikaela. I'm not going to be denied." The 22-1 WBO champion is targeting the best performance of her career, and remember — her only defeat is a razor-thin one to Katie Taylor in Dublin that half the room scored the other way.
Luke's Pick
Make no mistake, this is genuinely close — but I am backing Chantelle Cameron by points. Mayer is the slicker starter, Cameron the stronger finisher, and over twelve hard rounds in front of a Birmingham crowd I think the engine and the physicality tell. Cameron in a fight that has rematch written all over it.
Do Not Sleep On The Chief Support
Caroline Dubois defends her unified lightweight titles against Amelia Moore underneath, and that is a proper world title fight in its own right, not filler. Full card details on the fight cards page, and my fight week breakdown is here.
