Reigning unified WBA and WBC super welterweight world champion at 154lbs and the reigning WBO welterweight world champion at 147lbs Mikaela Mayer, 2016 U.S. Olympian, jumped out to a 17-0 record to begin her pro career while winning a pair of super featherweight world titles and becoming a pound-for-pound mainstay. Mayer lost her perfect record in a debated 2022 split decision loss to Alycia Baumgardner in a bid for the undisputed super featherweight title. In January 2024, she contended for the IBF welterweight world title against Natasha Jonas. While a Jonas rematch did not materialize, Mayer seized her second opportunity to become a two-weight world champion in September 2024, when she defeated WBO welterweight world champion Sandy Ryan by majority decision in a Fight of the Year contender. Six months later, Mayer bested Ryan by unanimous decision in Las Vegas, putting an exclamation point on their fierce 20-round rivalry. Mayer conquered a third weight class in October 2025, dominating Canadian star Mary Spencer over 10 rounds in Montreal to capture the WBA, WBC, and WBO junior middleweight titles. Mayer is the #1 ranked super welterweight by ESPN, and is ranked the Ring #3, ESPN #7, and Boxrec #11 pound-for-pound women’s talent globally.
“Chantelle Cameron has always been a name I’ve hoped to add to my resume and a fight I feel the sport of boxing deserves,” said Mikaela Mayer. “With our come forward, aggressive styles, I have no doubt that it will be one of the most exciting fights of our generation. Giving the fans the fights they wanna see is what I do best…so here you go. Again.”
Reigning WBO super welterweight world champion at 154lbs, #5 pound-for-pound boxer in the world, and former undisputed super lightweight champion at 140lbs Chantelle “Il Capo” Cameron (22-1, 8 KOs) is one of the most recognized names in women’s boxing. Cameron made her pro boxing debut in May 2017 and earned her first title honors in December 2017, her fifth pro fight, winning the IBO 135lb lightweight world title by stoppage. In 2020, Cameron moved up to 140lbs to contend for the then-vacant WBC super lightweight world title, defeating Adriana Dos Santos Araujo to become a two-division champion. Cameron unified her titles against Mary McGee in October 2021, earning a UD win to add the IBF and Ring Magazine titles to her WBC hardware. In November 2022, Cameron defeated Jessica McCaskill to become the undisputed super lightweight champion. Cameron’s undisputed reign came to head against Ireland’s Katie Taylor in May 2023, when she successfully defended her undisputed crown. The win set the stage for the pair’s rematch in November 2023, which resulted in a majority decision for Taylor. Cameron returned to the ring in July 2024, defeating Elhem Mekhaled to secure the WBC interim super lightweight title at 140lbs, which she defended twice in November 2024 and on MVP’s Taylor vs. Serrano 3 in July 2025. Cameron then stepped up to 154lbs to claim the then-vacant WBO super welterweight world title with a dominant defeat of Michaela Kotaskova in April 2026 on the main card of MVPW-01 in London. Cameron resides in Northampton, England and trains under Jamie Moore and Nigel Travis. She is the #2 ranked super welterweight in the world by ESPN, and is currently the ESPN #5, Ring #5 and Boxrec #10 pound-for-pound women’s boxer in the world.
“I am over the moon this fight has been made. I asked MVP for this fight and they have delivered,” said Chantelle Cameron. “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. I’ve been vocal about wanting to compete under equal rules and fight three-minute rounds, and that’s still something I strongly believe in. But Mikaela is the unified champion at 154 pounds and has made it clear she wants this fight over two-minute rounds, so I respect that. For me, the most important thing was making the biggest fight possible for the sport and giving the fans the matchup they’ve been asking for. Thanks to my team, MVP, and Sky Sports for this huge opportunity. Saturday, August 29th. Let’s go.”
“MVPW-06 UK vs. USA delivers one of the most important fights that can be made in boxing. A pound-for-pound matchup of this magnitude is nearly impossible to make; two of the world’s top ten fighters meeting in their prime, Saturday, August 29, live on Sky Sports in the UK and ESPN+ in the U.S.,” said Jake Paul and Nakisa Bidarian, co-founders of Most Valuable Promotions. “Mikaela Mayer and Chantelle Cameron have consistently sought out the toughest challenges available, and this fight is no different. Chantelle is one of the GOATs of women’s boxing, bar none. She went to Ireland and defeated Katie Taylor and almost did it a second time. Mikaela is one of the sport’s biggest faces who has delivered big fights and big ratings. This will be a fight of the year contender. The co-main event features the return of Caroline Dubois, defending her unified titles for the first time against top American contender Amelia Moore as we bring MVP back to the UK and deliver the brand to Birmingham. On the heels of MVPW-05: Johnson vs. Thorslund on Saturday, August 8, MVP is putting together a remarkable month for boxing and continuing to deliver the elite matchups fans deserve.”
WBC lightweight world champion “Sweet” Caroline Dubois fights out of London, England. Her amateur career was nothing short of legendary, a dominant run that included winning the gold medal at the 2018 Youth Olympic Games, becoming England’s first World Youth Champion (2018), and capturing four European Youth Championship titles between 2016 and 2019. This amateur dominance earned her the prestigious BBC Young Sports Personality of the Year award in 2019. In 2021, she represented Team GB at the Tokyo Summer Olympics, reaching the quarter-finals. Dubois made her professional debut in February 2022 and quickly established herself in the lightweight division. In September 2023, she earned her first major professional title, winning the vacant IBO lightweight world title via unanimous decision. Her ascent continued in August 2024, when she defeated Maira Moneo to claim the WBC Interim lightweight title. Following a relinquishment of the title, Dubois was elevated to become the WBC lightweight world champion in December 2024. The 25-year-old southpaw successfully retained her titles in 2025, securing a majority decision win against Bo Mi Re Shin in March 2025 before another successful title defense vs. Camilla Panatta on the undercard of Jake Paul vs. Anthony Joshua in December. In the headlining bout of MVPW-01 in April 2025, she successfully unified titles with then-WBO champion Terri Harper, becoming the new unified WBC and WBO lightweight world champion at 135lbs. She is currently ranked ESPN’s #1 lightweight, as well as ESPN’s #10 and Boxrec’s #12 pound-for-pound talent in the world.
“I’m excited to be fighting in the UK at home again,” said Caroline Dubois. “The crowd in London last time was incredible. I am looking forward to representing the UK on this card and defending my unified titles. The goal is to fight for more belts at the end of the year so I need to focus and take care of business with a big win in Birmingham. Forever blessed and happy Most Valuable Promotions are keeping me active.”
