Chantelle Cameron and Mikaela Mayer are officially scheduled for an immediate rematch following their previous encounter.
The two fighters will meet again on Dec. 24 in Dubai, serving as the co-main event for the card headlined by Jake Paul and Cedric Doumbe, according to Yahoo Sports.
Cameron, who holds a professional record of 23-1 with eight knockouts, will defend her WBO and WBC junior middleweight titles.
The upcoming bout follows an August contest where Cameron secured a decision victory to unify those world titles.
Regarding her preparation for the second meeting, Mayer expressed a focused outlook on her performance.
“Mayer vs. Cameron was a great fight that I truly hope everyone enjoyed,” Mayer said.
She added that she has been working to correct errors from the first match.
“Although I don’t feel I performed to my highest potential, I’ve been working hard to fix the mistakes I made and I will 100% come back stronger! I’m taking my belts back on Thursday, Dec. 24th,” the fighter stated.
Mayer, who enters the ring with a record of 22-3 and five knockouts, noted that she may benefit from competing outside of Cameron’s home country.
Promoter Nakisa Bidarian of MVP praised the athletes for their commitment to the sequel.
Bidarian stated that the decision to run the fight back immediately highlights the competitive spirit of both women, as reported by Yahoo Sports.
He noted that this willingness to engage in high-stakes bouts proves that both fighters are prepared to do what is necessary to face the biggest challenges in the sport, according to ESPN.
The December event is expected to draw significant attention as the two athletes look to settle the score in their junior middleweight rivalry.
Both camps are now finalizing their training regimens ahead of the holiday card in the United Arab Emirates.
