MIKAELA MAYER retained her WBO world welterweight title at the weekend as she beat England’s Sandy Ryan by unanimous decision.

The American overcame a cut above the eye and Ryan’s rally in the later rounds, winning with judge’s scores of 97-93, 97-93 and 98-92.

Saturday’s Las Vegas meeting was a rematch after Mayer took the crown from Ryan in New York in September 2024.
