Although the matchup is far away from receiving an official call, both the world champions have verbally agreed to lock horns. While Harper is fresh from her sensational win, she doesn’t want to get carried away with it. Instead, she vowed to return to the gym soon to prepare for her upcoming fight.
In the post-fight interview, ‘Belter’ called out the WBO female super featherweight champion Mayer for a blockbuster title unification bout. Since both of them are also unbeaten, it will add some more thrill to the mix.
That said, Mayer has already accepted the challenge. The American also had a huge win against Ewa Brodnicka on October 31 and is currently one of the hot prospects in the sport. It’s no surprise that she hasn’t hesitated a bit to accept the offer thrown by Harper.
