Cameron-Mayer rematch added to Paul Christmas Eve card

Chantelle Cameron will defend her light-middleweight world titles in a rematch against Mikaela Mayer on the undercard of Jake Paul's fight against Cedric Doumbe on 24 December.

Britain's Cameron beat Mayer by unanimous decision in August in an engrossing encounter to add the WBA and WBC titles to her WBO belt.

American Mayer, 36, disagreed with the decision, before an angry exchange of words between the pair, which opened up the possibility of a rematch.

Most Valuable Promotions (MVP) has confirmed the second bout between the two rivals will serve as the co-main at the Coca-Cola Arena on Christmas Eve in Dubai.

MVP co-founder Paul takes on MMA fighter Doumbe in the main event in the American's first fight since being knocked out by Anthony Joshua last December.

Cameron, 35, will be aiming for her 24th win in 25 professional fights, with her only defeat coming against Katie Taylor in 2023.

"We agreed to the rematch before the first fight, so we both kept our word," said Cameron.

"And now the rematch is on the biggest stage in boxing."
