Mikaela Mayer is set to challenge Mary Spencer for the WBA super-welterweight title in Montreal on October 30th, a fight where she feels unbeatable due to her intense training regimen. The 35-year-old American aims to become a three-weight world champion by defeating the Canadian champion, whom she acknowledges has a past name but is not currently well-known professionally. Following this challenge, Mayer's primary goal is to secure a unification bout against Britain's unified world champion, Lauren Price, whom she has been eager to fight since Price's historic victory over Natasha Jonas earlier in the year. Mayer hopes the potential undisputed title fight with Price can occur in early 2026, expressing a strong preference for a neutral location over fighting in Price's home country of Wales. However, Mayer remains pragmatic, stating she would consider fighting in Wales if the financial terms were sufficiently appealing, as she has never shied away from fighting in 'enemy territory.' This immediate focus on Spencer is merely a precursor to Mayer's ultimate ambition of unifying the division against Price.
