Mayer reaffirmed her life-long goal of becoming an undisputed champion after a second consecutive win<\/a> over Briton Sandy Ryan earlier this year.<\/p>\n

She had hoped to face Wales’ Lauren Price, the WBC welterweight champion, in an undisputed fight.<\/p>\n

That bout fell through largely because of promotional and broadcast issues.<\/p>\n

If a fight with Price – who is expected to be back in action in the UK in December – does not materialise next for Mayer, she could pursue undisputed status at light-middleweight against IBF champion Oshae Jones.<\/p>\n

“The most important thing is that I have options,” Mayer said.<\/p>\n

“I’d love to do both – go back down to 147lb for undisputed, then come back up and defend at 154lb.”<\/p>\n

A potential super-fight could also be on the cards against Claressa Shields, the self-proclaimed ‘Greatest Woman of All Time’ and undisputed three-weight world champion, who currently holds titles at heavyweight.<\/p>\n

American Shields, currently a free agent, is attracting interest from several promoters, including Most Valuable Promotions, co-founded by Jake Paul and Nakisa Bidarian.<\/p>\n

If Shields were to move down to super-middleweight, Mayer – despite it not being a natural weight – has said she would gladly meet her there.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
