'All-time great status awaits Mayer vs Cameron winner'

Nakisa Bidarian believes the winner of Mikaela Mayer vs Chantelle Cameron will cement their place among the top five female fighters in boxing history but tips Caroline Dubois to lead women’s boxing into a new era; watch MVPW-06 live on Sky Sports

The winner of Mikaela Mayer and Chantelle Cameron's world title unification fight will cement their position as one of the top five female fighters in boxing history, according to Nakisa Bidarian.

The WBO, WBA and WBC titles are on the line when Mayer and Cameron headline MVPW-06 at Birmingham's BP Pulse LIVE Arena this Saturday, live on Sky Sports .

Bidarian, CEO of Most Valuable Promotions, believes Cameron is already in the conversation to be one of the greatest women's boxers by virtue of beating Katie Taylor in their epic two-fight rivalry in 2023.

"The winner cements themselves as one of the top five fighters in history," Bidarian told Sky Sports.

"Chantelle Cameron has to be considered one of the GOATs because she beat Katie Taylor, and she almost beat Katie Taylor a second time, and Katie Taylor undoubtedly is one of the GOATs of women's boxing.

"If Mikaela Mayer can go in there and beat Chantelle Cameron decisively, she'll be one of the GOATs.

"But Cameron is already one of the greatest of all time and whatever time she has left in her career, she's going to be one of the faces of the sport alongside Mikaela as well."

With Taylor one farewell fight away from bringing the curtain down on her illustrious boxing career, and rival Amanda Serrano chasing the women's knockout record and a 50th career victory before hanging up her gloves, a vacancy as the face of women's boxing could soon emerge.

But, aged 36 and 35 respectively, Bidarian believes the baton will be passed to someone else featuring on Saturday's fight card.

"When I think about the future, when Amanda and Katie transition into the next phase of their personal lives and professional careers," Bidarian added.

"We have other fighters on this card that are going to represent that movement, starting with Caroline Dubois."

Britain's Dubois looks to retain her WBC and WBO lightweight titles against unbeaten former US Olympian Amelia Moore in the co-main event of MVPW-06 in Birmingham.

Alycia Baumgardner, a long-time rival and potential future opponent of Dubois, is set to be in attendance at ringside, but Bidarian has urged the 25-year-old to focus on matters inside the ring.
