Chantelle Cameron and Mikaela Mayer square off in a unified super welterweight championship rematch on December 24 at Coca-Cola Arena in Dubai. The contest serves as the co-feature to Jake Paul vs Cedric Doumbe.
- In their first fight in August in Birmingham, England’s two-division champion Cameron (23-1, 8 KOs) defeated Los Angeles’ three-division champion Mayer (22-3, 5 KOs) by unanimous decision.
- With the victory, Cameron retained her WBO title and claimed the WBA and WBC titles.
Oshae Jones (9-0-1, 3 KOs) of Toledo, Ohio, is the division’s reigning IBF champion, holding the fourth major belt at 154 lbs.
What they’re saying
“We agreed to the rematch before the first fight, so we both kept our word, and now the rematch is on the biggest stage in boxing,” Cameron said.
Mayer said, “Mayer vs Cameron was a great fight that I truly hope everyone enjoyed. Although I don’t feel I performed to my highest potential, I’ve been working hard to fix the mistakes I made and I will 100% come back stronger! I’m taking my belts back on December 24.”
