Mikaela Mayer (c) vs. Chantelle Cameron (c) (WBA, WBC, WBO, The Ring super welterweight titles)
Per DraftKings Sportsbook, Mikaela Mayer is the -240 favorite, while Chantelle Cameron is the +185 underdog.
It’s a matchup showcasing two unique styles.
Mayer ranks eighth among active boxers with a 9.7 +/-. She lands the fourth-most average punches thrown per round (54.4), while Cameron ranks second (61.9). However, Mayer ranks higher than Cameron on punches landed per round (18.7 compared to 17.4). The former ranks second in total connect percentage, owning a 34.4% mark.
Both fighters can get hit. Mayer’s opponents land the third-highest punches per round (8.8), while Cameron’s land 8.3. Cameron lands the second-most jabs per round (4.7), while Mayer lands the seventh-most (3.8). So they will both look to annoy one another.
Mayer has a warrior’s spirit. Fight fans saw this when she refused to back down against Maiva Hamadouche in a 2021 war. Mayer also rallied against Alycia Baumgardner and looked somewhat poised with a loss. She has never gotten knocked down. Often, Mayer has her hands down and looks for the attack. It could benefit her or result in her downfall.
Cameron has elite footwork. She can chop down an opponent with ease by making them uneasy, as she did in her first fight against Katie Taylor. She lands hard shots, especially to the body, as she did against Jessica Camara. On occasion, Cameron will land flurries to get her opponent off her game.
This should be a back-and-forth affair, possibly even a Fight of the Year candidate, between two pound-for-pound fighters. Cameron has what it takes to squeak out a win, especially on home turf. However, Mayer has proven to be resilient and will look to test her opponent. If no shenanigans take place, the fight should go to a decision, with Mayer pulling out the win.

Caroline Dubois (c) vs. Amelia Moore (WBC, WBO, The Ring lightweight titles)
Per the FanDuel Sportsbook, Caroline Dubois is the -2400 favorite, while Amelia Moore is the +1160 underdog.
Is the result inevitable, or can we expect a massive upset?
Dubois is one of the most elite strikers in women’s boxing. She ranks first among active fighters in +/- at 15.5 and fifth in total connect percentage with a 32.6% mark. The sister of Daniel Dubois, Caroline has a 43.9% connect mark, which ranks third.
Caroline may not have her brother’s power, but she does come with some pop. In her last nine fights, she has dropped five opponents.
Moore is quite the novice here, with only one fight ending via knockout. The 36-year-old may not be able to touch Dubois. Dubois’ opponents have the lowest total connect percentage at 17.1%.
Though her last knockout win was in 2023, Dubois looks to make a statement if she wants to unify the division. It appears she will do so in this fight, ending it early.

Terri Harper vs. Miranda Reyes (Super Lightweight)
Per DraftKings Sportsbook, Terri Harper is the -370 favorite, while Miranda Reyes is the +275 underdog.
Harper is a multi-division champion. She lost the WBO lightweight title and failed to capture the WBC belt after getting dropped against Caroline Dubois in April.
The first half of the fight was very tense and hard to score until the knockdown. Dubois took over, but Harper came back in the later rounds. That’s been the story of her career, making it a fight and coming back when it matters.
MORE: What are sportsbook bonus bets?
Reyes is on a two-fight win streak after losing two straight to Dubois and Stephanie Han. Dubois won with superior speed and sharp strikes after Reyes initially came out aggressively. That wouldn’t work with Dubois, but it could work against Harper.
Harper has experience beating world-class fighters. Reyes has struggled to get over the hump against championship-level talent. While aggressive, her style may not be enough to take out Harper.
Gemma Richardson vs. Kirstie Bavington (Super Lightweight)
A multi-time gold medalist, Richardson, from Lincolnshire, had an exceptional amateur record before turning pro last year. She’s won two fights in 2026, both via decision. A multi-time European champion, Bavington is on a three-fight win streak and is 3-3 in her last six fights.
It’s a massive step-up in competition for Richardson, facing West Midlands’ Bavington. The odds are in her favor, but it won’t be an easy contest. Still, Richardson should be able to control the distance and force her way to be noticed with a decision win.
