Hide AdDenaby’s Harper defends her WBC and IBO titles against Katharina Thanderz on Saturday.


"I definitely want to unify this division," Mayer said.
"I don't want to wait around. I don't want to take a couple of years to do it.
"I want to do it right away.
"So, [WBC champion] Terri Harper told me to get a belt. [Harper's promoter] Eddie Hearn told me to get a belt.
"I have the WBO belt now, so let's make that fight happen. I want Terri Harper next."

Hide AdMayer has previously said about Harper: "There’s no hard feelings towards her. I just want to fight her, kick her ass and take her belt!
"If I were to fight her? I would take her out of that comfort zone that she is in, and take it to her.
"She isn't well-rounded yet. She still has a long way to go.
"She will develop over time. But by the time she gets to the top level? I'll be two levels ahead of her. She'll never catch up to me.”
Elsewhere in the division, France’s Maiva Hamadouche (21-1, 17 KOs) holds the WBA title and South Korea’s Hyun Mi Choi (17-0-1, 4 KOs) is the IBF champion.
