Mayer says she and Cameron are at the peak of their powers

"I really do believe this is going to be a great performance by me - I think it's going to be my best performance of my career, I really do," Cameron told Sky Sports.

"I feel like everything's gone well and there's no reason for it to fall apart on fight night. When I'm like this, and I've put the work in and my mindset is where I want it to be, nobody's beating me.

"I know that all I have to do is do what I've been doing in the gym. I've done everything.

"I'm heading into fight week in such a good place - confident and knowing that it's going to take someone really good and special to beat me, and I just don't think that's Mikaela.

"When I'm thinking like that and acting that out in the gym and everything else, I just know that I'm not going to be denied the victory."

Cameron can't wait for her unified world super welterweight title fight with Mayer

Cameron - WBO champion - is the only fighter to beat Irish boxing legend Katie Taylor, but is aware a victory against Mayer would rank high on her list of achievements.

"It's going to be obviously massive. I am the only one to beat Katie Taylor, so that is going to be hard to top!

"I don't think that's ever going to be topped because Katie Taylor is obviously a phenomenal fighter and nobody has beat her. Everyone's tried, but nobody has actually got that win against her, whereas I have.

"Mikaela's a great fighter, pound for pound, one of the best. This will be my second highest achievement.
