Mikaela Mayer and Sandy Ryan set to renew hostilities

WBO welterweight titleholder Mikaela Mayer and Sandy Ryan are heading closer to the next installment of their feud.

Las Vegas-based Mayer outscored Ryan last September at The Theater in Madison Square Garden in New York City via majority decision in a superb contest – but one that was also marred by pre-fight controversy when Ryan was covered in paint by an assailant on her way to the venue.

They are set to renew acquaintances on the West Coast next time, probably in Las Vegas, at the end of March.

There had been bad blood before the bout last year. Ryan had previously set up camp in Las Vegas at DLX Boxing, which is where Mayer has been a fixture. Ryan then left, but she kept working with coach Kay Koroma. It led to ill feelings and verbal exchanges that were commonplace in the run-up to their fight, which Mayer won by margins of 97-93 and 96-94, with a third scorecard even at 95-95.

Ryan, a 31-year-old from Derby, UK, is now 7-2-1 (3 KOs). Mayer is 20-0 (5 KOs).

Mayer has teased news dropping soon on social media with a message on Instagram: “Fight announcement coming soon.”

Mayer will get the rub in close rounds in America. Mayer points again.

Will be Sky Sports in UK

Mayer can be a bit of a gobshite, but she deserves these wins. Thought she was unlucky v baumgardner and was robbed fornicating blind against Jonas. Always glad to see someone whos been screwed over get their rewards.
