Mikaela Mayer is one the most keenly watched prospects in women’s boxing today. The former WBO, IBF, and The Ring Super-Featherweight champion haven’t entered the ring since her loss to reigning champion Alycia Baumgardner in October last year. However, the five feet and nine inches tall Californian keeps herself fighting fit. It’s all the more significant since her old foe Baumgardner is the new undisputed world champion. So reportedly, rumors are rife of a rematch between ‘The Bomb’ and Mayer.
As much as her keenness to avenge the defeat, Mikaela Mayer makes it a point to share the latest updates and developments with her fans and followers, who number over 60k. Recently, she found Choi Hyun-mi on a Netflix reality show and shared the excitement with her fans.

Early morning today, she took to her Twitter handle to highlight her admiration for a renowned sporting brand. But it seems photographs of her shadowboxing inside the gym with hand wraps made an impression of its own on the supporters.
Mikaela Mayer tweeted, “My loyalty has always been different. Team Everlast since day 1 @Everlast_.” She probably wanted to highlight how, despite the presence of other big names, she stood by Everlast right from when she turned a professional boxer.

And fans and followers joined one after the other. An array of viewpoints and thoughts cropped up in no time.
Fans and followers chime in with their sentiments
A fan, @JamesRi34113613, lauded Mayer for her wins and why she deserves to be champion. He suggested that she tries every move that could get Alycia Baumgardner to agree to a rematch. Preferably on a co-main event during a Katie Taylor – Amanda Serrano rematch. He urged her to use her powerful punches. Only then the judges won’t have any alternative but to hand the title belts back to her.
Kaela, you were a champion for good reason. You need to use everything at your disposal to ensure you're rematchin Baumgartner as the chief support for Taylor v Serrano 2. You've got to use your two fists as the three judges to get those belts back around your waist.

@crumplednja attested that if one is not honest and straightforward, he can barely offer anything to the world. And with that, he wished Mayer the very best for her future endeavors.
If you ain’t got your integrity you ain’t got much.
Best of everything going forward 👊🥊— Nja 🥊🎵⚒️ (@crumplednja) February 9, 2023

Meanwhile, the thirty-two-year-old boxer seemed uncomfortable upon learning that arch-rival Baumgadner’s promoter Eddie Hearn might consider their rematch only if Mayer’s promotion team came with a moneymaking proposition. But according to the former champion, it should instead be the other way round. As per Boxing Scene, Mayer said, “he [Eddie Hearn] can’t afford a rematch.”
