Two-belt unified super featherweight champion, Mikaela Mayer, feels that the entire 130lbs roster should be thankful to her after her sensational win against Maiva Hamadouche on November 5. The 10-rounds contest went to the distance and Mayer outpointed her veteran rival with a 98-92, 99-91, and 100-90 unanimous decision.

Maiva Hamadouche entered the ring with a 22-1 record, 18 KOs included. Hence, she had all the necessary tools to hand Mayer her maiden career loss. Being an elite KO-artist, the French woman was seemingly hunting to stop Mikaela Mayer.
But Mayer turned the tables in style. She looked dominant, composed, and didn’t lose her focus at any point. Despite contracting some serious hits from Hamadouche, Mayer remained calm and did what she was supposed to do.
Following her efforts, she comfortably added the IBF belt to her WBO strap. The unified champion then took to Twitter to reflect on how she saved the other 130 pounders from further damage.
Mayer wrote, “I feel the need to say YOU’RE WELCOME to all the other girls in my division for taking Hamadouche out of the equation cus she woulda beat y’alls a**”

As ‘MM’ now holds two of the four belts in the division, she might aim for the rest. The 130 lbs division is currently holding major names. Mayer is one of them. But her upcoming journey can demand even more from the undefeated world champion.

Can Mikaela Mayer become the undisputed titleholder?
Having beaten most of the kingpins, Mayer needs to beat WBA champion Hyun Mi Choi and WBC titlist Terri Harper to become an undisputed super featherweight world champion. That said, Harper will put her title at stake against Alycia Baumgardner on November 13. If Harper suffers a loss, it will change the existing title scenario.

WBA titleholder Hyun Mi Choi, however, is free of any challenge at this time. Hence, in early or mid-2022, the two can lock horns for three super featherweight titles.
