Chantelle Cameron and Mikaela Mayer confirm rematch after post-fight argument

Chantelle Cameron and Mikaela Mayer will square off again on Christmas Eve, boxing on the undercard of Jake Paul’s fight with Cedric Doumbe.Before Paul, a YouTuber-turned-boxer, headlines against the former kickboxing champion in Dubai, Mayer will bid to reclaim the world titles she lost to Cameron in August.Cameron won a unanimous decision against the American to take the WBC and WBA super-welterweight belts, retaining the WBO title in the process. A quarrel ensued in the ring, with Mayer saying she felt hard done by the scorecards (97-93, 97-93, 96-94), and the 36-year-old will get a shot at revenge on 24 December. To regain her belts, she will have to do what only Katie Taylor has done: beat Cameron.In the fallout of Mayer’s first fight with the Briton, 35, the American admitted to Sky Sports: “In the heat of the moment after the fight, I felt I had won, but I knew it was close, and I was prepared to go to the mic and give her her props and say, ‘I’m looking forward to the rematch.’"I'm not going to lie, I heard her on the mic talking trash, and it triggered me. It brought something out of me, and I feel like I acted in a way that I shouldn’t have.All three judges awarded Cameron the win in Birmingham, UK (Getty)“I have not watched the fight back, but I am open to the idea that it was too close. I told myself I would not let the fight get close, and I didn’t do that. I let it get too close, and so I can’t be upset at the decision.“It wasn’t my night, and I have to give her the props for the win. She’s a great fighter, and I’m just excited to go fix my mistakes and do better.”Both fighters are multi-weight world champions. Cameron previously held gold at lightweight before reigning as undisputed super-lightweight champion, while Mayer has carried belts at super-featherweight, super-lightweight and super-welterweight. Also confirmed for the Paul vs Doumbe undercard is a six-round heavyweight tilt between former UFC stars Alistair Overeem and Jimi Manuwa.
