The upcoming unification bout between Mikaela Mayer and Chantelle Cameron is being billed as a pivotal moment that could secure the victor a place among the elite five female boxers ever recorded, according to industry insider Nakisa Bidarian. The fight, which will see the WBO, WBA and WBC championships on the line, is set to headline the MVPW‑06 card at Birmingham’s BP Pulse LIVE Arena this Saturday, with live coverage on Sky Sports. Bidarian, the chief executive of Most Valuable Promotions, argues that Cameron has already entered the conversation for the sport’s greatest female fighters simply by defeating Katie Taylor in a dramatic two‑fight saga that unfolded in 2023.
"The winner will cement themselves as one of the top five fighters in history," she told Sky Sports. "Chantelle Cameron must be counted among the GOATs because she beat Katie Taylor, and she came agonisingly close to a second victory over her. Katie Taylor, without question, is a GOAT in women’s boxing." Bidarian continued, "If Mikaela Mayer can step into the ring and beat Chantelle Cameron decisively, she too will join the GOAT club. But Cameron is already one of the greatest of all time, and whatever years she has left, she will remain a flagship figure in the sport alongside Mayer." The broader landscape of women’s boxing in 2026 is also shifting.
With Katie Taylor only one farewell fight away from ending a storied career, and long‑time rival Amanda Serrano eyeing a record‑breaking knockout tally and a 50th win before she hangs up her gloves, the mantle of the sport’s leading face is poised for a change. Both Taylor, now 36, and Serrano, 35, are approaching the twilight of their competitive journeys.
Bidarian believes that the upcoming Saturday card will showcase the next generation ready to take up that mantle. "When I think about the future, when Amanda and Katie transition into the next phase of their personal lives and professional careers, we have other fighters on this card that are going to represent that movement, starting with Caroline Dubois," she explained.
British prodigy Caroline Dubois will defend her WBC and WBO lightweight titles against unbeaten former U.S. Olympian Amelia Moore in the co‑main event.
Moore, who boasts a perfect 4‑0 record, brings a rich amateur background and experience in the Team Combat League, a distinct boxing format in the United States that has sharpened her athleticism. While long‑time rival Alycia Baumgardner, a potential future opponent for Dubois, is expected to be present at ringside, Bidarian urged the 25‑year‑old champion to keep her focus on the bout ahead. "Alycia Baumgardner will be there, but Caroline has a very formidable opponent.
You cannot discount Amelia Moore just because she’s 4‑0. She has a rich amateur pedigree and has competed in Team Combat League, which is a different boxing product in the US.
She is a strong athlete. I’m focused on what happens on fight night. It’s an absolute challenge for Caroline, and it’ll be interesting to see which version of Caroline Dubois we get," Bidarian said.
The event promises a week and a night of high‑octane action, with both headline fights offering narratives that extend beyond the immediate titles at stake. Mayer, an American fighter known for her technical skill and relentless pressure, will look to add another historic achievement to her résumé. Cameron, the British champion celebrated for her crisp boxing IQ and power, aims to solidify her legacy and perhaps become the definitive face of women’s boxing for the next decade. Fans eager to watch can tune in via Sky Sports or stream the event through platforms that offer contract‑free boxing coverage.

Whether the winner becomes the fifth all‑time great or simply reinforces an already stellar career, the bout will undoubtedly shape the sport’s narrative for years to come.
Meanwhile, the undercard, highlighted by Dubois versus Moore, adds depth and showcases emerging talent ready to step into the spotlight as the current legends transition toward retirement. The night promises to deliver drama, skill, and a glimpse into the future of women’s boxing, making it a must‑watch event for enthusiasts worldwide.
