Mary Spencer boxes Mikaela Mayer in a defense of her WBA Junior Middleweight Title on March 30, as we preview the upcoming fight. 

Spencer defeated Naomi Mannes in September 2024 to secure the WBA Interim Junior Middleweight belt, later becoming the full champion once Terri Harper explored her options at lightweight. Spencer then defeated Ogleidis Suarez in her last fight via a unanimous decision, successfully defending the title for the first time.

As for Mayer, she knows a win makes her a three-weight world champion, adding to her titles at 130 and 147. Mayer beat Sandy Ryan for the second time in her last fight to retain her WBO Welterweight Title. A move up to 154 comes after failing to secure an undisputed welterweight fight with Lauren Price, but a win means the fight could take place in 2026. 

Pre-Fight

“Never in a thousand years did I think I’d get the chance to fight Mikaela Mayer. I’ve followed her career a lot, and as a fan, I love her style — but what excites me most is that our styles mesh so well that this will be a truly memorable fight. Saying I’m excited is an understatement, and I hope the fans are too, because this will be epic,” Spencer stated

“I’ve looked her up; she’s obviously a big girl with long arms. But I don’t think she’s as sharp as me. I feel like I am on point and getting sharper every day. It will be a different fight because she is experienced. I just think I am sharper and faster, and my punch count is higher. I will be the smaller fighter, but my coach said, “Don’t worry about it.” He’s got me turning into my shots more, I am punching harder than ever, and I have never been worried about getting hit. Weight doesn’t win fights. Skill does,” Mayer said
