IBF, WBO super featherweight champion Mikaela Mayer would love to face the winner of the upcoming clash between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano.
Taylor will defend her WBC, WBA, WBO, IBF lightweight titles against Serrano on April 30 at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
Mayer will be a very interested observer in the upcoming showdown.
“I’d love to fight Katie Taylor, it’s been something that I’ve wanted to get done in my pro career, I’ve been working up to it and I’m in position now,” Mayer said to My Betting Sites.
“I would absolutely want that fight before she retires, so her winning is a win for me because I’d love to challenge her. But if Serrano wins I also think that’s a win for me. She’s another great fight for me; it’s a win-win. Whoever wins makes a great fight for me.”
Mayer has not been overly impressed with some of the recent performances by Taylor, who also captured gold in the Olympic games.
She believes Taylor’s abilities have not improved under longtime trainer Ross Enamait.
“I don’t think that Katie Taylor has looked her best in the last couple of fights, I don’t know if it’s because of her trainer – it’s got to be because of her trainer,” Mayer said.
“I don’t think she’s getting better, I think she’s content with what she’s always been doing and women’s boxing is developing and growing so much that she has to keep adding to her gameplan, adding to her arsenal, her skills. It’s really hard to say who wins, they have two different styles. It comes down to who has the best gameplan and who is able to perform and stay consistent for ten rounds.”
