Briton Chantelle Cameron will meet American Mikaela Mayer in a light-middleweight world title unification bout in Birmingham on 29 August.
Cameron, 35, beat Michaela Kotaskova to win the vacant WBO title in April and is aiming to add Mayer’s WBC and WBA belts to her collection.
Fellow Briton Caroline Dubois is also on the all-female Most Valuable Promotions card at BP Pulse, when she defends her WBC and WBO lightweight belts against American Amelia Moore.
Northampton fighter Cameron has 22 wins from 23 fights as a professional, including a victory over Ireland’s Katie Taylor in 2023.
“I’ve always said I want the biggest fights in women’s boxing, and there isn’t a bigger fight right now than me against Mikaela Mayer,” Cameron said.
“We’re both top-five pound-for-pound fighters, we’re both world champions, and we’re both coming to win.”
Mayer, 35, last fought in October when beating Mary Spencer and has a record of 22 wins in 24 bouts.
Dubois, 25, is yet to lose in 14 fights – winning 13 and drawing one – and has picked up five stoppage victories along the way.
The Londoner put on a classy performance to become a unified lightweight champion when beating fellow Briton Terri Harper on points in April.
“I am looking forward to representing the UK on this card and defending my unified title,” Dubois said.
“The goal is to fight for more belts at the end of the year so I need to focus and take care of business with a big win in Birmingham.”
Moore, 36, will be aiming to pull off a major upset in just her fifth fight as a professional.
