Mikaela Mayer defeated Mary Spencer by marching straight into her yard, pushing the door off its hinges and helping herself to every bar on display.

The Montreal fans cheered for their hometown favorite, but a pin could be heard dropping in the third round. Mayer wasn’t there to take selfies or sightseeing. She came in to do her shift, and by the final bell, Spencer looked like she’d gone down a storm.

Ten rounds of difficult, vicious boxing – jab, hook, pressure, repeat – and it wasn’t even close. The cards said it all: 100-90, 98-92, 98-92. Science.

Mayer left Canada with WBA, WBC and WBO super welterweight titles strapped on the shoulders, adding them to the WBO welterweight crown.

Four lanes. Two divisions. One warrior who doesn’t want to be anyone’s stepping stone.


The smaller woman fought like the bigger boss

On paper, Spencer was supposed to be the stronger one – a local hero, with a bigger frame, a puncher. But the paper lies.
As soon as the bell rang, Mayer began abusing her. He knocked her down with a difficult jab, slipped inside, and dug his right hands into her body like she was collecting rent.

Spencer tried to make a circle, but Mayer cut off the ring like a pro and didn’t give her a moment to breathe. By the middle, Spencer’s game plan seemed as solid as soggy cardboard.

“I’m usually the taller player,” Mayer said later, still smiling despite a bit of blood and sweat. “But since I’m usually a taller fighter, I also know how to beat me. I knew I had to get under Mary Spencer and get over the top with gigantic hooks. That’s what we trained for.”

And fair play – she succeeded. In the last few rounds, the traffic was one-way. Mayer went down with her like she owned the place, tilting her head back and delivering neat hooks at will. Spencer looked like she wanted to be anywhere else.


Mayer’s recovery was brutal and she was finally back on top

You could say it meant a lot. The last few years have not been kind to Mayer. Bad breaks, hefty losses, dodgy matchmaking – she had to get back to the top. But now she’s where she belongs, with gold on her shoulders and a point to prove.

“I think the most significant thing is that I have a choice,” she said. “You always need options. After two years, my career took a left turn. I had to find my way back to this position. Having options is a blessing.”

And she has them. Mayer can return to 147 pounds, race undisputed, or stay put and defend at 154. Either way, she holds the cards now.

“I could go back to 147, become undisputed there, or maybe come back and defend at 154,” she added. “We will review it with the team.”

You can tell she means it. No PR gibberish. Just a warrior who speaks like someone who has fallen, dusted herself off, and found who she is again.


View from the ring side

From behind the ring it was clear who was in charge. Mayer took his time. He didn’t get caught up in anything stupid. Simply packaged – mean, neat, patient.
Spencer had her moments earlier, but once Mayer got into her groove, she simply turned the screw. Each round, a little more pressure, a few neat shots, until the noise in the arena completely died down.

It wasn’t glamorous. It was proper, difficult, professional work – the kind where you don’t make viral videos, but win gigantic fights. Mayer’s calmness was evident from the first bell. No nerves. Don’t panic. Just control.

At the end, Spencer was still standing, but that was all she could say. Mayer didn’t celebrate in any particular way, he didn’t show off. She just smiled – that serene ‘I told you so’ smile – the kind warriors wear when everyone has shut up.

Three novel stripes, another layer to her legacy.
Mayer is back and still has a lot of work to do.

The Brit was dropped twice by massive underdog Prenga in the opening round of their clash in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on Saturday, but ‘AJ’ managed to recover and record a big knockdown of his own in the second round that resulted in the stoppage victory.

Joshua and Usyk now train together, having famously had two battles for the unified world heavyweight title in 2021 and 2022, and the Ukrainian has had his say on his stablemate’s victory over Prenga.

Speaking to TalkSporttwo-time undisputed champion Usyk praised Joshua, insisting ‘AJ is back’ before predicting that Joshua will now claim a knockout win over long-term rival Tyson Fury in his next bout.

“Anthony Joshua is next undisputed champion. First round it’s a test but AJ is back.

It’s boxing, [the] big upper cut is good, it’s a knockdown. AJ [come] back and win.

“Greedy Belly [Fury] will speak now and say weak chin, Greedy Belly get out. AJ wins [against Fury], [he will] knock him out.”

Fury was victorious on Friday as he earned a seventh round retirement win against Mariusz Wach in Thailand, paving the way for the showdown against Joshua later this year.

Tony Bellew Reviews Anthony Joshua's Comeback Victory Over Kristian Prenga After Knockdown Drama

Anthony Joshua may have earned a knockout win over Kristian Prenga but the fight certainly didn’t unfold as most people expected.

Joshua was facing the Albanian in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia on Saturday, and it looked like a massive upset could be on the cards when he was dropped twice in the opening round.

‘AJ’ was able to recover and went on to secure a second round knockout victory to prevent the shock lossseemingly paving the way for the battle against Tyson Fury later this year.

One man who was ringside to witness the battle was former cruiserweight world champion Tony Bellewand he praised Joshua’s ability to turn things around in the fight after describing it as ‘chaos’.

“We predicted round two but I don’t think we foresaw that. That was chaos. He doesn’t see the uppercut coming and finds himself on the floor without knowing how he got there.

“The second one he did see it coming and he was able to clench down on the jaw. He got up and then the experience that he has he used tonight because he tied him up. Against Andy Ruiz he didn’t know what he was doing and didn’t know how to do that, but tonight he did.

“He showed once again there is no quit. To be that hurt in the first round and get up, that’s the recoveries of power. People talk about your chin, but it’s not, it’s the level of fitness that gets you up from the floor.

“When Joshua gets a fighter hurt he’s the best finisher in the division. Whenever he hurts someone they’re gone. I haven’t seen him drop anybody and they survive, only Andy Ruiz. He’s a ruthless finisher.”

The clash between Joshua and Fury is now expected to be announced soon for later this year, after Fury won his own interim fight on Friday by defeating Mariusz Wach.
