Boxing is a sport which breaks barriers and allows one to look differently at the world, and WBO champion Mikaela Mayer knows it all.

Coming off from a troubled teenage, Mayer found her flow back in life when she entered the squared circle. It has been a different ride for her since then. Now, Mikaela Mayer is the undefeated world champion, who inspires several other women to follow the same path.

One of them might be the 16-year-old Mariah Bahe, who envisions to become the first female Native-American boxer.

Donning glasses on her eyes, Mariah Bahe appears serene with her persona. But she is a fighter in and out. While she claims to lose hope at times in difficult phases, Mikaela Mayer advises her to sustain the belief.

The unbeaten female champion newly connected with her via face time and delivered some exceptional advice to the young boxer.

Bahe discussed her future dreams with Mayer and enquired whether the WBO champion has ever thought of quitting.

Clearly, it was a ‘NO’, but Mayer further advised her to follow the same and never give up on dreaming.

Speaking on it, Mikaela Mayer said, “If I had to guess, I wouldn’t think that you had that mindset either. I didn’t, I never thought that. No matter what, no matter if I was losing and not doing well. Or things weren’t going right, I just never thought I wanted to quit. I just love the sport way too much. I think that you feel the same way.”

Mayer has had a successful 2020 that saw him become the WBO titleholder with two wins this year. She is now a rising star of Top Rank and has a bright future ahead.

However, she is still untested against many elites, and it guarantees blockbuster nights for her ahead. If Mayer continues to be on her prime form, she has the ability to remain unbeaten throughout. But boxing is an unpredictable sport, and it’s bizarre to predict outcomes.
