Chantelle Cameron is setting her sights on delivering the finest performance of her career as she prepares to meet Mikaela Mayer in a high‑profile unification clash at the bp pulse LIVE arena in Birmingham on Saturday, August 29. The bout, which will be broadcast live on Sky Sports, pits the British world champion Cameron (22 wins, 1 loss, 8 knockouts) against the American contender Mayer (22 wins, 2 losses, 5 knockouts), who currently holds the WBC and WBA titles. This fight caps the MVPW‑06 main card, a showcase where every match features a UK fighter squaring off against an American opponent.
Cameron has been outspoken about her belief that Mayer, despite her impressive résumé, lacks the "special" quality required to topple her. "I really do believe this is going to be a great performance by me – I think it’s going to be my best performance of my career," Cameron told Sky Sports in a pre‑fight interview.
"Everything has been going smoothly in my camp and there’s no reason for anything to fall apart on fight night. When I’m in this headspace, having put in the work and with my mindset exactly where I want it, I feel unbeatable." She continued, "All I have to do is keep doing what I’ve been doing in the gym. I’ve left no stone unturned.
I’m entering fight week feeling confident and knowing that it would take someone truly extraordinary to beat me – and I just don’t think that’s Mikaela." The British fighter, who also holds the WBO belt, is the only boxer to have ever defeated Irish legend Katie Taylor, a feat that has already cemented her place in the sport’s history. Cameron acknowledges that a victory over Mayer would add another significant milestone to her résumé. "Beating Katie Taylor was massive – that’s a benchmark that’s hard to surpass.
No one has ever beaten her, despite countless attempts. Mikaela is a fantastic fighter, pound‑for‑pound one of the best in the division, so a win over her would rank as my second‑greatest achievement," she said. When pressed about the odds, Cameron offered a candid estimate: "I’d put it at about 52 % for me versus 48 % for her – it’s going to be a great fight!" She was quick to emphasize that the contest will not be a walk‑over.
"This isn’t going to be an easy fight by any means. It’s going to be a tough, gritty battle, but I know what I’m capable of and I’m excited to execute my game plan," Cameron affirmed.
"When I feel that fire inside, that extra bite, that extra kick, I know nobody can stay with me." Mayer, meanwhile, enters the ring as the unified WBC and WBA champion, bringing a reputation for technical skill, speed, and relentless pressure. The American has built a solid record with five knockouts and is eager to add the WBO belt to her collection, further solidifying her status among the sport’s elite. Both fighters have expressed respect for each other’s abilities, setting the stage for a clash that promises high drama and technical fireworks. The event itself is part of a broader push to spotlight transatlantic rivalries, with every fight on the card featuring a British boxer against an American counterpart.
In addition to the Cameron‑Mayer showdown, the card includes a bout featuring rising British star Caroline Dubois, adding further intrigue for fans. Beyond the immediate stakes of the unification, the fight carries larger implications for the women’s feather‑weight division.
A Cameron victory would place her in a rarefied group of fighters who have held multiple major titles simultaneously, while also reinforcing her claim as the only boxer to have bested Katie Taylor. For Mayer, retaining her belts and adding the WBO title would cement her dominance and potentially set up future mega‑fights against other top‑ranked opponents.
