Chantelle Cameron has publicly requested a rematch with Mikaela Mayer under three‑minute rounds after she secured 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 further cemented her place among the sport’s most celebrated female boxers. The rivalry between Cameron and Mayer took on a dramatic edge earlier in the week when a heated exchange at the weigh‑in escalated into a physical confrontation. Security had to intervene to separate the two athletes, and the incident set the tone for a bout that lived up to the pre‑fight tension.

In the post‑fight press conference, Cameron explained why she wants a three‑minute round rematch, even if it means relinquishing her newly won WBC title. "She wanted the weight, she wanted the two‑minute rounds, she wanted her name first – which is fine because we’re not going to argue about that," Cameron said.

"If we want a rematch we have to do three‑minute rounds. I’ll talk to my team; I’m willing to vacate the WBC belt again if that’s what it takes." Cameron, who remains the only woman to have defeated Katie Taylor in Taylor’s professional career, celebrated the victory but was quick to temper any claims that she is now the greatest female boxer of all time.

"It’s definitely my best win and I enjoyed it a lot," she told reporters. "I still think Claressa Shields is the best.

I won’t be deluded. Mikaela might think otherwise, but Claressa is still number one." The tension that simmered before the fight boiled over during the weigh‑in, and Cameron believes that the confrontation gave her an edge on fight night. "I think she messed up, she was too nice‑y‑nice and friendly," Cameron reflected.

"I genuinely respect her, I was a fan, but the way she’s been acting made a fool of herself. I could see it before the bell rang – I was thinking, ‘I’m going to smash your head in.’ I think that mindset helped me. I felt the energy she didn’t want to be in there, and I could feel it." After the final bell, the two fighters met again in the ring’s center, with Mayer immediately disputing the judges’ scores.

Cameron, however, made it clear that any future bout would have to be fought on her terms. "I just wanted to play with her," Cameron told Sky Sports. "If you’re going to say you’ll stop me, beat me easily… talk is cheap, and I proved that tonight. Don’t talk too much – you’ve got to back it up.

I want to do this again. It’s up to Mikaela, but I want three‑minute rounds. I’ll talk to my team and see if she wants it, but didn’t you say you’d beat me so badly you wouldn’t want a rematch?" Cameron continued to prod her opponent, adding: "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!" Mayer, for her part, rejected the decision, insisting she had out‑boxed Cameron on her own turf.

"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, it’s your prerogative. 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. I’ll rewatch the fight and give an honest evaluation, but I just beat you.

If the public says I’m wrong, that’s fine – my initial feeling is I out‑boxed her." MVP co‑founder Nakisa Bidarian welcomed the prospect of a second encounter, while also highlighting other marquee names in the division. "Cameron said she’d like a rematch with three‑minute rounds, and she’d also love to fight Claressa Shields or Lauren Price – she’s up for anyone. Unquestionably, if she’s not the GWOAT, she’s among the top two or three ever." Cameron’s trainer, Jamie Moore, indicated that the champion might be prepared to vacate the WBC title should the sanctioning body refuse to allow a three‑minute round defence against Mayer. "In general, Chantelle is much better over three minutes.

There’s an issue with the WBC, and Chantelle will discuss with her team whether she might vacate the belt. She’s adamant that for women’s boxing to move forward and be on the same level as men’s boxing, it has to be three‑minute rounds." The call for three‑minute rounds reflects a broader conversation within the sport about gender parity, fight pacing, and audience expectations. While men’s championship bouts have long been contested over three‑minute rounds, women’s fights have traditionally been limited to two‑minute rounds, a rule that some argue limits the display of endurance and strategy.

Cameron’s willingness to sacrifice a world title to secure longer rounds underscores her belief that the sport should treat female athletes equally. If the rematch materialises under the proposed conditions, it would not only settle the personal score between Cameron and Mayer but also serve as a pivotal moment in the ongoing push for rule changes in women’s boxing. The bout would attract significant attention from fans, promoters, and governing bodies alike, potentially accelerating discussions about standardising round length across genders.

Regardless of how the negotiations unfold, both fighters have made it clear they are eager to step back into the ring. Cameron’s confidence, combined with Mayer’s determination to prove she was the rightful victor, sets the stage for a high‑stakes showdown that could redefine the landscape of super‑welterweight women’s boxing for years to come.
