Mikaela Mayer iyo Chantelle Cameron oo isku dhacey Birmingham 29kii Ogosto 2026

Laga daawan doonaa Sky Sports, iyadoo Caroline Dubois ay ka mid tahay kuwa ka qayb qaadanaya

Mikaela Mayer iyo Chantelle Cameron waxay wadaagi doonaan 29kii Ogosto 2026 magaalada Birmingham, iyadoo Mayer ay haysato horyaallada WBA iyo WBC ee miisaanka super-welterweight, Cameronna ay haysato horyaalka WBO ee isla miisaankaas.

Taariikhda iyo guulaha la xariiqay

Mikaela Mayer waa horyaal saddex-miisaan ah, halka Chantelle Cameron ay xukuntay laba miisaan oo kala duwan oo ay tahay haweeneyda kaliya ee xirfadaysan ee ka badisay Katie Taylor. Cameron waxay Taylor ka badisay go'aan aqlabiyad ah May 2023 iyadoo xajisay horyaalkii undisputed ee super-lightweight, laakiin dib-u-dhigga isla sanadkaas ay ku dhacday natiijo la mid ah.

Mayer waxaa garaacay Alycia Baumgardner iyo Natasha Jonas, guulo ay iyadu ku adkaysan tahay inay ahayd kuwo ay ahayd inay iyadu ku guuleysato, Cameronna lama siin fursad ay ugula ciyaarto Taylor kulankoodii seddexaad. Cameron waxay afar guul oo isku xigta ka gaartay tan iyo markii ay u gudubtay super-welterweight, oo ay ku jirto guushii April 2026 ee Michaela Kotaskova.

Khilaafka miisaanka iyo doodaha tababaraha

Tababaraha Mayer waa Kofi Jantuah, waxaana ay sheegtay inay 10 bilood xarig ku jirtay laakiin maalin kasta qolka jimicsiga u joogtay si ay u horumarto farsamooyin cusub. Mayer aaminsan tahay inay Cameron horay u aragtay qaybteedii ugu fiicnayd, iyadoo ku doubay in Cameron aysan u lahayn xawaaraha iyo weerarka miisaanka sare.

Cameron waxay ku eedaysay Mayer 'insecurity' oo ay sheegtay inaysan intaas badan isbedeli doonin. Mayer ayaa aaminsan inay 'impossible' tahay in Cameron u tababarto nooca ay hadda tahay. Cameron waxay aaminsan tahay inay dagaalku noqon doono mid ka mid ah waxqabadkeeda ugu fiican oo xaqiijin doona sumcadeeda.

Dhacdada miisaanka iyo saamaynta dhaxliga

Intii lagu guda jiray miisaanka, Mayer iyo Cameron waxay isku dhaceen jir ahaan waxaana u baahday ilaalo kala saarid, iyadoo Cameron ay vowed inay 'smash her head in'. Dagaalka waxaa si toos ah uga daawan doonaa Sky Sports, iyadoo Caroline Dubois ay ka mid tahay kuwa ka qayb qaadanaya barnaamijka.

Ellie Scotney, oo dhowaan iska casishay horyaalkii undisputed ee super-bantamweight, waxay soo jeedisay in guuleystaha uu galo afarta ugu sarreeya taariikhda haweenka, Nakisa Bidarian oo ah aasaasaha MVPna wuxuu ku celceliyay fikraddaas.

Mikaela Mayer and Chantelle Cameron traded barbs and required security intervention at their weigh-in on Friday, adding a new layer of intensity to Saturday's super-welterweight world title showdown in Birmingham.

A Heated Weigh-In Shakes Up the Build-Up

The rivalry between the two pound-for-pound superstars took an unexpected turn when they were separated by security after a physical altercation during their weigh-in. Mayer described the outburst as genuine, noting that Cameron is normally a calm person. Cameron, however, vowed to 'smash her head in' during the confrontation, marking a sharp departure from their cordial pre-fight exchanges.

Both fighters had initially praised each other's achievements, with Mayer calling the build-up 'authentic' and Cameron saying they are simply 'two good fighters that are going to beat each other up.' The sudden escalation on the eve of the bout has only heightened anticipation for Saturday's main event, which will be broadcast live on Sky Sports.

Conflicting Narratives on Who Will Prevail

Mayer insists she has already seen the best of Cameron, arguing that the Northampton fighter may lack the speed and aggression at super-welterweight. She claims it would be 'impossible' for Cameron to train for her current version, citing a complete overhaul of her style under coach Kofi Jantuah. Meanwhile, Cameron dismissed Mayer's claims as 'insecurity speaking' and expressed confidence that this fight will cement her legacy.

The American champion acknowledged that Taylor's victory was Cameron's finest moment but questioned whether that performance can be replicated at a higher weight. Cameron, who has won four consecutive fights on her path to the title, believes Saturday will be one of her best performances and that beating another legend will solidify her resume.

Legacy on the Line in Birmingham

The stakes are enormous, with both fighters having overcome turbulent periods to reclaim their status at the summit. Mayer has bounced back from losses to Alycia Baumgardner and Natasha Jonas, while Cameron was denied a trilogy fight with Taylor. Ellie Scotney suggested the winner would enter the top four greatest female fighters of all time, a sentiment echoed by MVP co-founder Nakisa Bidarian.

Mayer drew parallels between her career and Cameron's, noting that both have faced backlash after setbacks and had to navigate their way back to the top. She warned that one of them would have to 'take that fall again,' underscoring the gravity of Saturday's clash as a potential fight of the year.
