Mikaela Mayer (16-0, 5 KOs) won by unanimous decision over Maiva Hamadush (22-1, 18 KOs) in the main event bout of the evening in Las Vegas. The American thus unified the IBF and WBO featherweight titles.

The bout from the first bell was high tempo. The Frenchwoman put pressure on the American, but it was Mayer, who was boxing from the defense, who threw more punches.

After ten rounds, the judges favored Mayer with scores of 98-92, 99-91 and 100-90. Next year, Mayer looks to get a unification fight with WBC champion Terry Harper.
