August 28, 2026Carlos Mendoza3 мин

Ahead of the highly anticipated super-welterweight world title fight between Mikaela Mayer and Chantelle Cameron at MVPW-06 in Birmingham, boxing experts and fellow fighters have shared their predictions. The bout will be broadcast live on Sky Sports.

Alycia Baumgardner (WBO, WBA, and IBF Super Featherweight World Champion):

"It's a fantastic fight. Both athletes possess significant skill. However, I believe Mayer holds a slight edge over Cameron, primarily due to the resilience she's demonstrated in overcoming adversity, particularly my previous victory over her. That loss likely fuels her desire for a rematch or to prove herself further. Mikaela has handled that defeat with great credit; she's moved forward and achieved significant success. I believe this fight will be a pivotal moment, solidifying her career and opening doors to even bigger contests. It's a testament to her potential."

Ellie Scotney (Former Undisputed Super-Bantamweight Champion):

"Stylistically, this is a bout that could captivate any boxing fan and leave them with an enduring appreciation for the sport. I anticipate a relentless pace throughout the contest. This fight has the potential to be an all-time classic. I foresee the winner reaching pound-for-pound prominence and being recognized among the top four greatest female boxers of all time. Their shared passion for fighting ensures they will leave everything in the ring. I'm currently undecided on who will win."

Johnny Nelson (Former Cruiserweight Champion):

"While I'd ideally favor Chantelle Cameron, I think Mikaela Mayer brings a greater variety of skills and more experience both inside and outside the ring. I'm leaning towards a points victory for Mikaela, though it promises to be a captivating match. Mayer's height, reach, and diverse fighting style give her an advantage."

Reina Tellez (American Featherweight Contender):

"I'm supporting Team Mayer. She is an exceptional individual and a remarkable athlete. Chantelle is also a phenomenal athlete, and her status as a world champion is well-deserved, with a history of impressive performances. I respect Chantelle's accomplishments immensely. However, I believe Mayer might narrowly secure the victory."

Caroline Dubois (WBC and WBO Lightweight World Champion):

"This is a superb fight and a fantastic matchup. I expect it to be incredibly action-packed, as both fighters possess a strong desire to engage. I'm finding it difficult to pick a definitive winner. I hold immense admiration and respect for both women. Ultimately, I believe boxing itself will be the biggest winner, and I wish both of them success."

Nakisa Bidarian (MVP Co-Founder):

"This is shaping up to be an extremely close fight. I only wish it were contested over three-minute rounds, as it's bound to be non-stop action. Chantelle Cameron, in my opinion, is among the greatest female boxers, much like Katie Taylor. Her victories in hostile territory against Taylor, and their subsequent close rematch, speak volumes. If Mikaela Mayer defeats Chantelle Cameron, she will cement her own status among the greats. This is a contest between a confirmed legend and a fighter on the verge of greatness. Predicting a winner is incredibly challenging. What I can confidently predict is non-stop action that will keep you on the edge of your seat from the opening bell to the final round."

Amelia Moore (American Lightweight Contender):

"Chantelle is an incredible fighter with immense pressure and ring IQ. Mikaela possesses excellent distance control and a strong grasp of range. I've discussed this fight with others, and I truly believe the outcome will hinge on who can better manage the distance and maintain their pacing. The fighter who can control the distance and sustain their rhythm will likely take the win. I'm unable to provide a concrete prediction at this time."

Mikaela Mayer (WBA and WBC Super-Welterweight Champion):

"This fight will leave Chantelle Cameron's fans stunned, thinking, 'Oh, we lost all our money. I can't believe Mikaela boxed so well.'"

Chantelle Cameron (WBO Super-Welterweight Champion):

"I will win by simply showing up, being myself, and doing what I do best – relaxing and executing."
