Chantelle Cameron is scheduled to defend her light-middleweight world titles in a rematch against Mikaela Mayer. The bout will take place on December 24 on the undercard of Jake Paul’s fight against Cedric Doumbe.
The Road to the Rematch
Britain’s Cameron defeated Mayer by a unanimous decision in August following a compelling bout. That victory allowed Cameron to add the WBA and WBC titles to her existing WBO belt. American Mayer, aged 36, disputed the outcome, leading to a heated verbal exchange between the two fighters that paved the way for a second encounter.
Most Valuable Promotions (MVP) confirmed that the upcoming clash between the rivals will serve as the co-main event at the Coca Cola Arena in Dubai on Christmas Eve. In the main event, MVP co-founder Paul will face mixed martial arts fighter Doumbe for his first appearance since being knocked out by Anthony Joshua in December.
Fighter Records and Expectations
Cameron, aged 35, enters the matchup seeking her 24th victory in 25 professional bouts. Her sole career defeat occurred against Katie Taylor in 2023. “We agreed to the rematch before the first fight, so we both kept our word,” Cameron stated, adding that the upcoming bout takes place on boxing’s biggest stage.
Mayer holds 22 wins out of 25 professional fights and aims to recapture her world titles in Dubai. “Although I don’t feel I performed to my highest potential, I’ve been working hard to fix the mistakes I made and I will 100% come back stronger,” Mayer explained, affirming her goal to retrieve her belts on December 24.
