Mikaela Mayer says a fight with Chantelle Cameron will deliver one of the most exciting clashes of this generation. The American called the matchup one the sport deserves.

“Cameron has always been a name I've hoped to add to my resume and a fight I feel the sport of boxing deserves. With our come forward, aggressive styles, I have no doubt that it will be one of the most exciting fights of our generation.”

What Mikaela Mayer said

Mayer has long pursued Cameron, who moved up to super welterweight after losing her undisputed lightweight crown to Katie Taylor. Both fighters carry aggressive styles that promise action. The bout would mark a rare fight between two former world champions at the weight.

What it moves

Mayer's push for Cameron sets up a potential clash that could anchor a major card. Whether Cameron accepts remains the next question. The winner would vault back into title contention at super welterweight and position themselves for a sanctioning body opportunity.
