True to Nakisa Bidarian's word, world junior middleweight Chantelle Cameron has moved on from a proposed super fight vs. world middleweight / heavyweight champion Claressa Shileds. Most Valuable Promotions (MVP) announced a rematch between the reigning unified WBO, WBA, and WBC 154-pound champion Chantelle Cameron (23-1, 8 KOs) and reigning WBO 147-pound champion Mikaela Mayer (22-3, 5 KOs). The two stars will meet again in a ten-round junior middleweight rematch in support of MVP’s Jake Paul vs. Cédric Doumbé Christmas Eve spectacle on December 24th (Thursday) card at Coca-Cola Arena in Dubai, UAE.

 

Cameron vs. Mayer II follows their August showdown in Birmingham, England, where Cameron earned a unanimous decision victory to claim Mayer’s two titles and unify three world championships at 154 pounds. The closely contested battle immediately sparked calls for a rematch from both fighters, setting the stage for another showdown. Cameron enters determined to defend her unified crown and cement her place among boxing’s pound-for-pound elite, while Mayer looks to avenge her defeat and reclaim the titles she lost just four months earlier.

 

Also joining the card will be MVP’s undefeated U.S. Olympian and amateur world champion Jahmal Harvey (5-0, 4 KOs), who returns against Scotland’s Craig Morgan (15-1-1) in an eight-round lightweight bout.

 

Chantelle “Il Capo” Cameron is also a former champion at 140 pounds, where she won the vacant WBC title in October 2020 before winning the IBF and WBA titles. Cameron successfully defended her titles against Katie Taylor in May 2023, before a November 2023 rematch resulted in a decision win for Taylor. Cameron stepped up to 154 to win the vacant WBO title in April 2026 on MVPW-01. She most recently faced then-WBC and WBA champion Mikaela Mayer in a major pound-for-pound clash in August 2026, winning by decision to become a unified champion in a second division.

 

She said, "I am genuinely excited to box in one of my favourite places on December 24 in Dubai. I cannot thank Jake, Nakisa and Mike enough for this opportunity to box on a huge show. They promised to keep me active in 2026 and my third fight in nine months proves just that. We agreed to the rematch before the first fight, so we both kept our word, and now the rematch is on the biggest stage in boxing."

 

A three-division champion and reigning WBO welterweight champion, Mikaela Mayer, 2016 U.S. Olympian, jumped out to a 17-0 record to begin her pro career while winning a pair of 130-pound  titles and becoming a pound-for-pound mainstay. In January 2024, she contended for the IBF welterweight world title against Natasha Jonas, then seized her second opportunity to become a two-weight world champion in September 2024, when she defeated WBO welterweight champion Sandy Rya before besting her again in a rematch.

 

Mayer became a three-division champion with a defeat of Mary Spencer in October 2025 to win the WBA, WBC, and WBO 154-pound titles. She said, "Mayer vs. Cameron was a great fight that I truly hope everyone enjoyed. 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! I’m taking my belts back on December 24th."
