Cameron-Mayer rematch set for Jake Paul Christmas Eve card in Dubai

Chantelle Cameron will defend her light-middleweight world titles in a rematch against Mikaela Mayer on the undercard of Jake Paul's fight with Cedric Doumbe at the Coca Cola Arena in Dubai on 24 December. Most Valuable Promotions has added the second meeting between Cameron and Mayer to the Christmas Eve card.

Cameron beat Mayer by unanimous decision in August to add the WBA and WBC titles to her WBO belt in what the report described as an engrossing encounter. Mayer, 36, disagreed with the decision and an angry exchange of words between the pair afterwards opened up the possibility of a rematch.

Most Valuable Promotions (MVP) has confirmed the second bout will serve as the co-main event at the Coca Cola Arena on Christmas Eve in Dubai. MVP co-founder Paul is scheduled to face MMA fighter Cedric Doumbe in the card's 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, 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."

Mayer has won 22 of her 25 professional fights and is seeking to reclaim her world titles. "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," she said. "I'm taking my belts back on Thursday 24 December."

The rematch will be staged as the co-main at the Coca Cola Arena on 24 December in Dubai, with Jake Paul versus Cedric Doumbe promoted as the night's headline fight.
