Chantelle Cameron has publicly called for a rematch with Mikaela Mayer under the traditional three‑minute round format after securing a unanimous decision victory that crowned her the unified WBA, WBC and WBO super‑welterweight champion at the MVPW‑06 event in Birmingham. The British fighter edged the American on the judges' cards with scores of 97‑93, 97‑93 and 96‑94, a result that bolsters her claim among the sport’s most celebrated female pugilists. The buildup to the bout was anything but calm.

At the weigh‑in the night before the fight, Cameron and Mayer engaged in a heated exchange that escalated into a physical confrontation, forcing security personnel to intervene and separate the two athletes. The tension spilled over into the post‑fight press conference, where Cameron reiterated her desire to fight again, but only if the contest returned to the standard three‑minute rounds. "If we want the rematch we have to do three‑minute rounds," she told reporters. "I'll talk to my team, and if it means vacating the WBC belt again, I’m willing to do that." Cameron, who is the only woman to have defeated Irish legend Katie Taylor in Taylor’s professional career, celebrated the win as the most significant of her career yet remained modest about being labeled the greatest female boxer ever.

"It’s my best win, I really enjoyed it tonight," she said. "I still think Claressa Shields is the best. I won’t be deluded – Mikaela might think otherwise, but Claressa remains number one." The fight itself was a tactical showcase.

Cameron’s aggressive style and superior footwork allowed her to control the pace, while Mayer relied on counter‑punching and movement. In the later rounds, Cameron’s pressure intensified, forcing Mayer onto the back foot and prompting the judges to award the narrow margins that secured the decision. After the final bell, emotions ran high.

Mayer immediately disputed the outcome, insisting she had out‑boxed Cameron on her own turf and demanding a rematch on her terms. Mayer’s post‑fight comments were blunt: "I did beat you, Chantelle.

You’re lucky in your little backyard. You can have your rematch, three‑minute rounds. If you want to vacate your WBC belt you can do that. I’ll just kick your ass even harder.

But it won’t be here, it won’t be in the UK. If you want to come to the US you can.

I out‑boxed you." Cameron responded with characteristic confidence, teasing Mayer’s pre‑fight bravado and emphasizing her own readiness for another encounter. "I just wanted to play with Mayer," she told Sky Sports. "If you’re going to say you’ll stop me, beat me easily… talk is cheap, and I showed that tonight.

Don’t talk too much game – you’ve got to back it up. I want to do this again.

It’s up to Mikaela, but I want three‑minute rounds." She continued to rib her opponent, saying, "You were talking so much nonsense I actually fell asleep for a second! Three‑minute rounds, let’s do it. Go back to the gym, work on your power, your fitness, your speed, your boxing – make some improvements, because your team isn’t doing a great job, are they?

You’re boring – go home!" MVP co‑founder Nakisa Bidarian welcomed the prospect of a second meeting, noting that Cameron has also expressed interest in facing other top names such as Claressa Shields and Lauren Price. "If she’s not the GWOAT, she’s definitely in the top two or three ever," Bidarian said, underscoring Cameron’s stature in the division.

Cameron’s trainer, former British champion Jamie Moore, hinted that the champion might be prepared to relinquish the WBC title if the governing body refuses to sanction a three‑minute round defense against Mayer. "Chantelle is much better over three minutes," Moore explained.

"There’s an issue with the WBC, and Chantelle will speak to her team to see if she might vacate the belt. She’s adamant that for women’s boxing to be on equal footing with the men’s game, we need three‑minute rounds." The debate over round length has been a longstanding point of contention in women’s boxing.

Historically, women’s bouts have been limited to two‑minute rounds, a rule that many argue diminishes the sport’s competitiveness and marketability. Cameron’s push for three‑minute rounds aligns with a broader movement among top female fighters who seek parity with their male counterparts, both in terms of exposure and the physical demands of the sport.

If a rematch materializes, it could serve as a pivotal moment for the division. A three‑minute round showdown would test both athletes under conditions that more closely mirror the standard format used in men’s championship fights, potentially altering strategies and stamina requirements. For Cameron, the longer rounds could accentuate her aggressive style and power punching, while Mayer would need to adapt her defensive tactics and pacing to maintain effectiveness over the extended duration.

Beyond the immediate rivalry, the fight highlights the growing depth of talent in women’s super‑welterweight boxing. With champions like Claressa Shields, Lauren Price, and rising stars such as Michaela Walsh entering the conversation, the division is poised for a series of high‑profile clashes that could attract mainstream attention and lucrative broadcast deals. In summary, Chantelle Cameron’s demand for a three‑minute round rematch with Mikaela Mayer is more than a personal vendetta; it reflects a larger push for equality in the sport.

Whether the WBC will accommodate her request, or whether Cameron will indeed relinquish the belt to pursue her vision, remains to be seen. What is certain is that both fighters have ignited fan interest, and a second encounter—under any round configuration—promises to be a marquee event in the 2026 boxing calendar.
