"I just know I just feel unbeatable right now. I feel in a great position and I can't wait to get out to the UK and do my thing.</p><p>"[Cameron] is good at what she does. She's an aggressive fighter. She lets her hands go.</p><p>"She fights at a fast pace and so do I. So that's going to make for a very exciting fight for the fans.</p><p>"But I just don't think it's going to be as close and as much of a war as everyone thinks.</p> <widget id="2"></widget><p>"There's probably a handful of people who think I'm stupid for coming to the UK and going onto Chantelle's turf, but I'm just confident in myself right now.</p><p>"I'm fighting better than I've ever fought, smarter than I've ever been. And I just believe in myself.</p><p>"I feel like no matter where I go, I'm still going to kick butt. So it could be here. It could be there. I'm taking the win."</p><p>Mayer pointed to her "versatility" as a defining factor come Saturday, insisting nothing can prepare Cameron for the new and improved version of the 36-year-old that awaits.</p><p>"I'm really hard to train for because I've developed so much these last 10 months of being in the gym," Mayer told <em>Sky Sports</em>.</p><p>"I know I haven't fought since last October but the things I'm doing now, it's really impossible for Chantelle to have trained for me at this point.</p> <widget id="7"></widget><p>"I'm going to do everything I can to make it a very obvious win, maybe a stoppage, we'll see, but I know I'm coming out with my hand raised.</p><p>"I've worked on making sure that my inside game and when I do press forward that my defence is tighter and I'm the one landing my shots. I'll definitely be using a little bit of everything I've got, but knowing mine and Chantelle's styles there will definitely be moments where it will be a dog fight."</p><h3>Mayer vs Cameron - fighter records</h3> <widget id="5"></widget> <widget id="6"></widget><h3>'A win would be one of the best moments of my career'</h3> <widget id="3"></widget><p>The 35-year-old Cameron won the WBO super welterweight title - a belt Mayer had vacated just months after beating Mary Spencer for it - with a dominant victory over Michaela Kotaskova in April.</p><p>The significance of the chance to become unified world champion by reclaiming the WBO crown is not lost on Mayer, with the American describing the prospect of victory as a career-defining moment.</p><p>"[A win would be] definitely up there with one of the best [moments].</p><p>"I've had a pretty awesome career. Even though I've gone through some ups and downs, I think that's what makes my career even more special and what makes these big fights that are ahead of me extra special.</p> <widget id="4"></widget><p>"I've had to go through trials and tribulations - I've had to adjust, I've had to make changes in my team and keep continuing to get better - and I've done that.</p><p>"Going in there and having a dominating performance against someone like Chantelle Cameron, who is very highly respected - the only person to beat Katie Taylor - that's going to definitely be one of the best moments of my career thus far."</p><p>The upcoming bout may not be the last between the two, with Mayer revealing that a rematch clause has been included in the contract of both fighters:</p><p>"Well, Chantelle and I do have a rematch clause on both of our ends, which is unique, but if it's the type of fight that everyone expects, then why not do a rematch?</p><p>"Why not give it to the world again? I have no problem giving a rematch when it's, when it's justified.</p><p>"Do I want to kick her butt so bad that she doesn't even want to activate that rematch clause? Of course. But if she does, we can go again."</p><p><strong>Watch MVPW-06 in Birmingham, headlined by Mikaela Mayer vs Chantelle Cameron and with Caroline Dubois also in action, live on August 29 on Sky Sports. <a href="https://www.sky.com/tv/sports?dcmp=Ilc_skysports_nc_articlelink" target="_blank">Get Sky Sports</a> or <a href="http://www.nowtv.com/membership/watch-sky-sports?DCMP=ilc_skysports_nc_articlelink">stream boxing with no contract</a>.</strong></p>
