Mikaela Mayer vs Chantelle Cameron unification set for August 29 as Terri Harper returns

Most Valuable Promotions announced MVPW-06 is officially scheduled for August 29, 2026, at the bp pulse LIVE arena in Birmingham. The entire main card operates under a strict “UK vs. USA” format, matching British boxers directly against American opponents. The event is headlined by a super welterweight world title unification clash between the UK’s WBO champion Chantelle Cameron and the USA’s unified WBA and WBC champion Mikaela Mayer.

The 10-round contest puts all three belts on the line. Tickets went on sale June 19, and the event will be broadcast live on Sky Sports in the UK and ESPN+ in the United States.

To secure the bout, Cameron actively campaigned for three-minute rounds but ultimately conceded the rule dispute. Because Mayer is the unified champion and insisted on standard two-minute rounds, Cameron accepted the terms to ensure the unification fight was signed, a detail confirmed alongside the ESPN+ broadcast schedule.

The undercard brings former three-weight world champion Terri Harper officially back to the ring. In the co-main event, British unified WBC and WBO lightweight world champion Caroline Dubois defends her titles against American contender Amelia Moore over 10 rounds.

Dubois views the Moore defense as a critical stepping stone, stating her ultimate goal is to unify the rest of the lightweight division belts by the end of 2026. This matchup anchors the MVP promotional strategy led by co-founders Jake Paul and Nakisa Bidarian. Paul highlighted Cameron’s historical legacy during the announcement, pointing specifically to her unprecedented victory over Katie Taylor in Ireland.

For Mayer, the August 29 trip represents an attempt at third time lucky on English soil. Her only two professional defeats occurred in the UK via controversial split decisions, falling to Alycia Baumgardner in London in 2022 and Natasha Jonas in Liverpool in 2024.
