Mikaela Mayer (19-1, 5 KOs), a former junior lightweight unified champion, is gearing up for a significant challenge as she plans to move up in weight class to face IBF welterweight champion Natasha Jonas (14-2-1, 9 KOs) on January 20 in the United Kingdom. This move represents Mayer’s ambition to climb the ranks in multiple weight classes and take on high-profile fights.
Mayer, from Woodland Hills, California, has shown her versatility and skill across different weight classes. After moving up to junior welterweight in September, she secured a 10-round decision win against Silvia Bortot. In a bold move, Mayer, during her post-fight interview, expressed her eagerness to confront Jonas directly, despite the significant jump from 130 pounds to 147 pounds.
Her journey in boxing has been marked by notable victories. Mayer captured the WBO junior lightweight title in 2020 with a win over Ewa Brodnicka and later unified the IBF belt by defeating Jennifer Han in 2022. However, she faced a setback when she lost to Alycia Baumgardner six months later. Bouncing back, Mayer moved to lightweight and defeated Lucy Wildheart for the WBC interim title. She currently ranks No. 4 in ESPN’s welterweight rankings and No. 6 in the pound-for-pound rankings.
On the other side, Natasha Jonas of Liverpool, England, has made a name for herself as the current unified junior middleweight champion. Her impressive track record includes winning the WBO belt with a TKO victory over Chris Namus and adding the WBC title by defeating Patricia Berghult. Jonas later secured the IBF title with a victory over Marie Eve Dicaire. She clinched the IBF welterweight title, which she will defend against Mayer, by beating Kandi Wyatt in July. Jonas is currently positioned as No. 2 in ESPN’s welterweight rankings and No. 9 in the pound-for-pound rankings.
This upcoming bout between Mayer and Jonas is more than just a title fight; it’s a collision of two of the world’s top female boxers, each looking to cement their legacy and dominance across multiple weight classes.
