Mikaela Mayer warns Lauren Value: The longer you watch for undisputed title combat, the higher I am getting

Mikaela Mayer believes the undisputed welterweight world championship combat with Lauren Value will occur, even when it takes longer than she’d hoped.

However Mayer had a warning for her rival champion.

“The longer Lauren Price waits, the better I’m getting,” Mayer instructed Sky Sports activities. “Don’t leave it too much longer, I’m just going to get better and better.”

Mayer is the WBO welterweight world titlist. After dropping a good majority choice to then IBF champion Natasha Jonas, she beat Sandy Ryan to win the WBO belt.

With a controversial paint assault on Ryan marring their first combat, Mayer repeated a factors victory over the Briton of their Might rematch.

“That was just a glimpse of what I’ve been working on and I’m just going to keep getting better,” mentioned Mayer, beforehand a unified world champion down at super-featherweight.

“My greatest aim was to go in there and beat her higher. As a result of there have been some doubters after that first combat, although I really feel like I beat her soundly I by no means need anybody questioning my win, I do not like that in any respect.

“I did the right thing. I’m glad that I came out on top and I’m glad that I prove it with an even better performance.”

Lauren Value defeated Jonas in a close to punch-perfect efficiency on the Royal Albert Corridor in March to unify the WBC, IBF and WBA titles.

The pure subsequent combat is for Value and Mayer to fulfill in an undisputed title combat to unify all 4 of the foremost welterweight belts.

Nevertheless it’s a contest that may not happen till later within the 12 months. “If it would have been in July it would have been nice because we were both coming off fights,” Value mentioned. “Now we’re looking at September, October to fight, I don’t know.

“I feel we’ll [fight]. I do not assume there’s going to be an issue with getting it executed later.

“Hopefully we can get something done by September,” she added. “I want to try and squeeze in three fights this year.”

Value is an Olympic gold medallist, who has confirmed little weak point to date in her skilled profession. However Mayer is undaunted.

“She still trains with the GB team so, for me, she still has a lot of amateur attributes,” Mayer mentioned of Value. “That can still be tricky, she is a lefty, she does like to move a lot.

“I feel I’ve actually settled right into a extra professional model. In order that’ll be fascinating, I even have extra professional expertise.

“I have all the experience in the world, I feel confident, stronger than ever, I’m healthier than ever. I think it’s going to be a great fight.

“I do not assume Jonas discovered her motion and how one can shut that area. However should you’ve seen my model – that area is getting closed sooner or later,” she continued. “It will be good it doesn’t matter what, as soon as it occurs.

“It’s going to have to happen eventually.”

But when Mayer has to attend longer than anticipated, she’s going to think about another combat first, even perhaps a rematch with Natasha Jonas.

“Despite her not having the best performance against Lauren I still wouldn’t mind getting that win back on my record,” the American mentioned.

“I never like to count fighters out and retire them, that’s on them and how they feel. Maybe she just had a bad day, maybe she just couldn’t figure out Lauren’s movement.

“Different names, Chantelle Cameron and stuff, these are all women we will probably make fights with if it is tough to make the deal.”

Her goal although is finally Lauren Value. “I don’t want to take too much time off so we’ll do what we’ve got to do,” Mayer mentioned, “but ultimately Lauren Price is definitely number one for me.

“I wish to go undisputed, I wish to verify that off and end what I began.

“That would be very satisfying for me and from there it’s just big fights. Big money fights, legacy fights.”
