"Top Rank have been supportive the entire way" - Mikaela Mayer on Bob Arum's controversial comments on women's boxing

Mikaela Mayer has discussed Top Rank CEO and Boxing Promoter Bob Arum's recent controversial comments. Arum made some controversial comments about women's boxing earlier this week which saw him face a lot of backlash.

Mayer, who is signed to Top Rank Promotions, spoke about how they have been supportive of her:

"I know that the team that Top Rank has, you know, Todd DuBoef and everyone who's been sort of running my career these past four years. They support me and they've been supportive the entire way and they've done really well and I'm happy with them and so his comments definitely confused me but it's not a representation of Top Rank as a whole."

Take a look at the interview:

Mayer also spoke about how Bob Arum's comments confused her because it is not an accurate representation of how Top Rank treats their female fighters. Mayer is currently in Wales for a UK tour and she's in town just in time for the Claressa Shields vs. Ema Kozin on the Chris Eubank Jr. vs. Liam Williams undercard.

Mayer is one of the best active female boxers. The Unified Super-Featherweight World Champion is unusually tall for someone in her division and she uses her size and reach advantage over her opponents very well.
