The upcoming world‑title unification bout between Mikaela Mayer and Chantelle Cameron is set to determine which fighter will secure a place among the elite five women in boxing history, according to industry veteran Nakisa Bidarian. The fight, which will see the WBO, WBA and WBC belts on the line, headlines the MVPW‑06 card at Birmingham’s BP Pulse LIVE Arena this Saturday and will be broadcast live 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 boxers by virtue of her dramatic 2023 two‑fight series with Katie Taylor.
"The victor 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 defeated Katie Taylor and nearly did so a second time, and Katie Taylor is undeniably one of the women’s boxing GOATs as well." Bidarian continued, "If Mikaela Mayer can step into the ring and beat Chantelle Cameron decisively, she will join the GOAT conversation.
But Cameron is already one of the greatest of all time, and whatever years she has left, she will remain a leading face of the sport alongside Mikaela." The broader context of women’s boxing in 2026 adds extra weight to the stakes. Katie Taylor is only one farewell bout away from ending a storied career, while her long‑time rival Amanda Serrano is chasing both the women’s knockout record and a milestone 50th professional victory before she hangs up her gloves.
Both athletes are approaching the twilight of their competitive lives—Taylor at 36 and Serrano at 35—leaving a potential void at the very top of the sport. Bidarian believes the mantle will be passed to a new generation, and she points to the rest of Saturday’s card as the next wave of talent. "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 said. British rising star Caroline Dubois will defend her WBC and WBO lightweight titles against unbeaten former U.S.
Olympian Amelia Moore in the co‑main event. Dubois, only 25, has already amassed a reputation for speed, power, and technical precision.
Moore, entering the fight with a perfect 4‑0 record, brings a deep amateur pedigree, having represented the United States at the Olympics and later competing in the Team Combat League—a unique American boxing format that blends elements of traditional pugilism with mixed‑martial‑arts‑style competition. Bidarian emphasized that while Alycia Baumgardner, a long‑time rival of Dubois and a potential future opponent, will be present ringside, the focus must remain on the bout at hand. "Alycia Baumgardner will be there, but Caroline has a very formidable opponent ahead of her.
You cannot discount Amelia Moore just because she’s 4‑0. She has a rich amateur pedigree. She’s also competed in Team Combat League, which is a different boxing product in the US, and she’s a strong athlete. I’m focused on what happens on fight night.
I think it’s an absolute challenge for Caroline. It’ll be interesting to see what version of Caroline Dubois we get," Bidarian explained. The night promises a packed schedule of high‑stakes matchups, each carrying implications for the sport’s evolving hierarchy. Beyond the headline unification, the Dubois‑Moore clash could signal the emergence of a new dominant force in the lightweight division, while Baumgardner’s presence adds a layer of intrigue for future matchmaking.
