Cameron targets Mayer unification clash as biggest fight available

Chantelle Cameron has called for a unification bout with Mikaela Mayer, describing it as the biggest fight in women's boxing right now. The former undisputed lightweight/" class="internal-link text-bone underline decoration-ash/30 hover:decoration-gold underline-offset-2">super-lightweight champion wants to face the American world titleholder next.

“I've always said I want the biggest fights in women's boxing, and there isn't a bigger fight right now than me against Mikaela Mayer. We're both top-five pound-for-pound fighters, we're both world champions, and we're both coming to win.”

What Chantelle Cameron said

Cameron returned to winning ways after losing her undisputed crown to Katie Taylor in their May 2023 rematch. Mayer holds a world title and ranks inside the top five pound-for-pound alongside Cameron. Both fighters remain active on the world stage and a unification would settle who sits atop the division.

What it moves

Cameron's public push for the Mayer fight puts pressure on broadcasters and sanctioning bodies to deliver the contest. Mayer has previously expressed interest in facing elite opponents at multiple weights. The clash would determine the strongest claim to divisional supremacy if it goes ahead.
