Sky Sports’ recent piece on Terri Harper’s quest for undisputed super featherweight supremacy features a couple of interesting tidbits. For one, she’s agreed to terms to face unbeaten WBA champ Hyun Mi Choi. For two, WBO champion Mikaela Mayer and IBF champion Maiva Hamadouche are in talks to duke it out this upcoming May.
Per Christian Cherchi, who co-promotes Hamadouche (22-1, 18 KO) alongside Matchroom:
“We are in talks with Matchroom, with Top Rank, for a possible unification fight for next May in the United States. But nothing is set for the moment, we are in negotiations. Hamadouche, she wants a unification fight. She was ready to fight the WBA champion and Terri Harper as well. It is the natural fight (undisputed), we have to do it. It only makes sense to do these two fights to have an undisputed champion.”
