Experts have their say ahead of Mikaela Mayer and Chantelle Cameron's super-welterweight world title fight at MVPW-06 in Birmingham, live on Sky Sports from 7pm.
Alycia Baumgardner (WBO, WBA and IBF super featherweight world champion):
"It's a great fight. I think they're both well skilled. But I think Mayer just edges it just a tad more than Cameron just because of her adversity that she went through. I think specifically because of me, too. You think about that loss.
"I've thought about the loss, and you want to revenge it somehow. Mikaela's done a great job. She's gone on. She took the L, she moved on, and she's done great for herself. I think that this fight will solidify her career just in making the big fights possible. I think that's just what she has in her career. I credit her."
"I feel like stylistically it's a fight that you can get someone to watch boxing and they'll love boxing after watching it, I think it's going to be non-stop. I think it's going to be a fight for the ages.
"I think the winner of it breaks out, of course they're in the pound for pound list, but I think they'll be mentioned in the top four greatest fighters of all time within female boxing. They both love to fight, and I think for that factor they're going to give you everything.
"Even though I'd like to say Chantelle Cameron, I think Mikaela Mayer has a little bit too much variety, experience inside and outside the ropes. I would lean towards Mikaela to beat Chantelle on points even though it will be a fascinating fight. She has the height, the reach, the variety in her style of fighting."
"I'm team Mayer. She's a great person and an amazing athlete. Chantelle is also an amazing athlete. You know, clearly she's a world champion for a reason, and she's had a lot of amazing fights. You've got to give the respect where it's due. I take nothing away from Chantelle, but I think Mayer might edge this one out.
"It's a great fight, a great matchup, I think it will be action packed, they both come to fight. I think I'm going to go on the fence. I have a lot of love and respect for both women, at the end of the day I think boxing wins and I want to see both of them do well."
"I think it's a very close fight. I wish it was three minute rounds. I think it's going to be non-stop action. Chantelle Cameron, I've said it time and time again, if Katie Taylor is one of the goats, Chantelle Cameron is one of the goats of women's boxing.
"She went to Ireland, hostile territory, beat Katie Taylor, went back and almost beat her again in a close decision. And Mikaela Mayer, if she beats Chantelle Cameron, then she's one of the goats. So it's a goat versus a soon-to-be goat if she wins. Chantelle cements her legacy as the goat if she dominates Mikaela Mayer.
