Mikaela Mayer continues her climb in ESPN's pound-for-pound rankings, and Lauren Price made her debut in the top 10 after impressive victories.
Mayer (21-2, 5 KOs) defeated Sandy Ryan on Saturday to retain the WBO welterweight title, a rematch of their controversial September bout that Mayer edged by majority decision. This time around, Mayer dominated most of the rounds and won by scorecards of 98-92, 97-93 and 97-93.
"I wanted to give Sandy the rematch because [the first time] it was a great fight. It warranted a rematch," Mayer said after the victory. "That's when I believe a rematch should happen is when the fans want it, when it's warranted. So, we did that, but I beat Sandy twice. Now it's time for me to move on and go for undisputed, which is Lauren Price.
Price (9-0, 2 KOs), the WBC, IBF and WBA welterweight champion, unified all three belts by demolishing former champ Natasha Jonas on March 7. Jonas had defeated Mayer by split decision in January 2024.
Price's unanimous decision win over Jonas was unquestioned, winning every round in one of the judges' scorecards (100-90, 98-92 and 98-93). A fight between Mayer and Price would crown the first undisputed welterweight champ since Jessica McCaskill in 2022.
With the victories, Mayer moves up one spot to No. 6, while Price enters the rankings at No. 7. Savannah Marshall has been removed for inactivity.
