Ryan-Mayer, Baumgardner-Persoon, Dixon-Harper: How to watch and stream the title fights

This weekend belongs to women's boxing. Three title fights, divided into three boxing tournaments, will take place in New York, Georgia and Sheffield, England.

On Friday, Sandy Ryan will defend her WBO welterweight title for the first time against former unified junior lightweight champion Mikaela Mayer at the Theater at Madison Square Garden (ESPN/ESPN+, 10:30 p.m. ET).

Ryan (7-1-1, 3 KOs), of Derby, England, travels to the United States for the second time in a year to face Mayer. Ryan won the title in April 2023 with a unanimous decision victory over Marie-Pier Houle. After her unification fight with WBC and WBA champion Alycia Baumgardner ended in a draw, she fought Terri Harper in March and defeated her by fourth-round TKO.

Mayer (19-2, 5 KOs) lost her WBO and IBF junior lightweight titles to Baumgardner by split decision in October 2022. Mayer then moved up a weight class and defeated Lucy Wildheart by unanimous decision to win the WBC interim lightweight title in April 2023. Mayer moved up once again and lost by split decision to Natasha Jonas in a fight for the IBF welterweight title in January.

Also on Friday, Baumgardner puts her WBC junior lightweight bout against Delfine Persoon on the line at the Trilith Studios Town Stage in Fayetteville, Ga. This will be Baumgardner's first fight since she tested positive for two banned substances in a voluntary anti-doping test prior to her July 23 fight against Christina Linardatou (the decision was overturned).

Baumgardner (15-1, 7 KOs), of Woodland Hills, California, became the undisputed junior lightweight champion by defeating Elhem Mekhaled by unanimous decision on February 4, 2023. She defended her title once against Linardatou.

Persoon (49-3, 19 KOs), of West-Vlaanderen, Belgium, is a two-time lightweight champion. She lost her belt to Katie Taylor while attempting to unify all four lightweight belts in June 2019.

On Saturday, Rhiannon Dixon will put her WBO lightweight title on the line against current WBA junior middleweight champion Terri Harper in Sheffield, England (DAZN, 2:00 p.m. ET).

Dixon (10-0, 1 KO), of Warrington, England, won the belt in April by unanimous decision in an intense battle that left both fighters with cuts. This will be her first title defense.

Harper (14-2-2, 6 KOs), of Doncaster, England, drops three divisions for this fight. The last time Harper fought as a lightweight was in March 2022, a unanimous decision victory over Yamila Belen Abellaneda.
