The upcoming showdown between Mikaela Mayer and Chantelle Cameron for the unification of three world titles is poised to determine which fighter will secure a place among the elite five women in boxing history, according to industry veteran Nakisa Bidarian. The bout, which will feature the WBO, WBA and WBC belts, is the centerpiece of the MVPW-06 event at Birmingham’s BP Pulse LIVE Arena this Saturday, and will be broadcast live on Sky Sports. Bidarian, chief executive of Most Valuable Promotions, argues that Cameron has already entered the conversation for all‑time greatness simply by defeating the legendary Katie Taylor in their dramatic two‑fight rivalry last year. "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 beat Katie Taylor, and she nearly did it a second time. Katie Taylor is undeniably one of the greatest women’s boxers ever." Bidarian went on to explain the stakes for Mayer as well.
"If Mikaela Mayer can step into the ring and beat Chantelle Cameron decisively, she too will join the GOAT conversation. But Cameron is already a historic figure, and whatever years she has left, she will remain a face of the sport alongside Mikaela." The broader context of women’s boxing in 2026 adds extra weight to the match. With Katie Taylor only one farewell fight away from ending her storied career and long‑time rival Amanda Serrano chasing a record‑breaking knockout tally and a 50th professional win before she hangs up her gloves, the sport is on the cusp of a generational shift. Both Taylor and Serrano are in their mid‑30s—Taylor is 36, Serrano 35—so the mantle of the sport’s most recognizable ambassador is likely to pass to a newer generation.
Bidarian believes that transition will be evident on Saturday’s card. "When I think about the future, when Amanda and Katie move 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, is already being touted as a potential new face of women’s boxing. Her long‑time rival and possible future opponent, Alycia Baumgardner, will be present ringside, but Bidarian urged Dubois to keep her focus on the fight itself.
"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," Bidarian explained. "She has a rich amateur pedigree, has competed in Team Combat League—a different boxing product in the U.S.—and she is a strong athlete. I’m focused on what happens on fight night.
It’s an absolute challenge for Caroline, and it will be interesting to see which version of Caroline Dubois we get." The event promises a week‑long festival of high‑octane bouts, and the promotion is encouraging fans to watch the fights using Chrome for the best video experience. Sky Sports will carry the main event live, and the network also offers a contract‑free streaming option for viewers who prefer to watch online without a traditional subscription. In summary, the Mayer‑Cameron fight is more than a title unification; it is a potential watershed moment that could redefine the hierarchy of women’s boxing.
A decisive victory for either athlete would not only secure three world belts but also cement that fighter’s legacy as one of the sport’s all‑time greats. At the same time, the co‑main event featuring Dubois versus Moore showcases the next wave of talent ready to step into the spotlight as the sport evolves. Fans can tune in this Saturday on Sky Sports, or stream the action via the network’s contract‑free platform, to witness what could be a historic night for women’s boxing.
