The catchweight is 148 pounds, six under the 154-pound limit these belts are normally defended at, and Mayer has said she must return to 147 or be stripped there. Her most recent Claressa Shields talk points at 160 rather than 154, per remarks both fighters made this week . The IBF belt sits with Oshae Jones and is not in this fight, so the winner cannot claim undisputed.
Mayer has said the contracted weight for the fight is 148 pounds because she wants to protect her ability to return to welterweight where she feels she has some unfinished business. Still, Mayer is also eyeing a potential clash with Claressa Shields at 154 down the line.
The only title in the division that won't be on the line is the IBF crown. That title is currently held by Oshae Jones. A matchup between Jones and the winner of Mayer-Cameron is also a possibility.
Mayer used to be the WBO champion, but she vacated the title. Cameron moved up from super lightweight and defeated Michaela Kotaskova to win the vacant belt. This fight gives Mayer a chance to win back a belt she never lost in the ring.
