Chantelle Cameron and former world champion Mikaela Mayer will meet in a rematch on the Jake Paul vs Cedric Doumbe bill on Christmas Eve.
Unified super-welterweight world champion Cameron will share the ring again with Mayer in Dubai just four months after she defeated the American in a thrilling fight in Birmingham.
In a fight of the year contender, Cameron claimed a hard-fought unanimous decision victory following a fiery build-up, and she is relishing the opportunity to face Mayer in a rematch on a huge Most Valuable Promotions show as Paul returns to the ring for the first time since his fight with Anthony Joshua.

"We agreed to the rematch before the first fight, so we both kept our word," said Cameron.
"And now the rematch is on the biggest stage in boxing."
After the first fight, Mayer claimed she should have been awarded the win, accusing Cameron of being "lucky in her little back yard".
The 36-year-old American is now looking to reclaim her world champion status.
"Although I don't feel I performed to my highest potential, I've been working hard to fix the mistakes I made and I will 100 per cent come back stronger," she said.
"I'm taking my belts back on Thursday, December 24."
The Paul vs Doumbe bill also features undefeated US Olympian and 2021 amateur world champion Jahmal Harvey (5-0, 4 KOs) who faces Scotland's Craig Morgan (15-1-1) in an eight-round lightweight bout at 135 lbs.
Nakisa Bidarian, CEO of Most Valuable Promotions, said: "Chantelle Cameron vs Mikaela Mayer 2 marks MVP's latest seismic pound-for-pound clash with two of the world's top ten fighters meeting again in their prime.
"Their first meeting just a few months ago was a clear 'Fight of the Year' contender and both immediately called for the rematch following the fight - a testament to both being willing to take on the hardest challenges.
"Now the stakes rise even higher for Chantelle as she puts three titles on the line against a hungry Mayer, one of the sport's biggest faces in her own right and a US Olympian.
"They are joined by USA's knockout sensation and future face of the lightweight division Jahmal Harvey. Topped by an unmissable Jake Paul vs Cedric Doumbe main event, MVP's Christmas Eve spectacle only gets bigger and better."
Paul and former Glory kickboxing champion and PFL star Doumbe will face off in an eight-round cruiserweight professional boxing match at the Coca-Cola Arena in Dubai.
Doumbe, a former two-time Glory welterweight kickboxing champion, boasts an impressive 75-7-1 record in kickboxing, including 45 knockouts.
He is also 6-1 in mixed martial arts and 1-0 as a professional boxer, having beaten Mohamed Fodil on points in his sole boxing appearance back in 2015.
