Inside “the Bubble” at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, NV on Saturday, WBO Junior Lightweight Champion Ewa Brodnicka (19-0, 2 KOs) makes her US debut with her belt and unbeaten record on the line on Top Rank’s ESPN+ broadcast show against their heavily touted undefeated contender Mikaela Mayer (13-0, 5 KOs).
After signed with Matchroom Boxing powerful female stable, “Kleo” Brodnicka has been in camp in Florida before the trek west to the desert bubble as a somewhat considered an underdog on Halloween night.
NABF Super Featherweight Champion Mayer has been on a terror since leaving the unpaid ranks in 2017, recently dominating championship contender Helen Joseph in July to warrant a shot at a major title.
Mayer has not been given an east lineup of opposition to start her career. Debuting in August of 2017, her opposition’s combined record has been 113-45-12 with none posing much of a threat of defeat.
This matchup will be an intriguing one in a division with young and powerful champions like Terri Harper, Hyun Mi Choi, Maiva Hamadouche along with a long list of up and coming champions.
Someone’s ZERO (Losses) has got to go!
