Mikaela Mayer says she feels "unbeatable" and that her blockbuster unification fight against Chantelle Cameron for the world super welterweight titles won't be close. British WBO title holder Cameron (22-1, 8 KOs) faces American Mayer (22-2, 5 KOs) at the bp pulse LIVE arena on Saturday - live on Sky Sports - with every bout on the MVPW-06 main card pitting a UK fighter against a US opponent. WBA and WBC champion Mayer has no shortage of respect for Cameron - who has won her last four fights since a rematch defeat to Katie Taylor in 2023 - but has backed her own ability to unify the titles in front of what is set to be a hostile Birmingham crowd.

"[Cameron] is good at what she does. She's an aggressive fighter. "She fights at a fast pace and so do I.
So that's going to make for a very exciting fight for the fans. "But I just don't think it's going to be as close and as much of a war as everyone thinks.

"I'm fighting better than I've ever fought, smarter than I've ever been. And I just believe in myself. "I feel like no matter where I go, I'm still going to kick butt.
