MIKAELA MAYER and Sandy Ryan will square off AGAIN this weekend in a massive rematch of their ill-tempered first meeting.
In the lead-up to their first fight, the two engaged in off-canvas drama that included Ryan getting struck with a tin of paint.
Mayer denied knowing anything about the paint-throwing incident and expressed her hope that their second encounter would be free of problems.
Mayer left the gym after criticising Ryan for working with her trainer before to the first bout, in addition to the paint issue.
The desire for a rematch has not diminished, despite Meyer's victory by majority decision, and both fighters will be eager to defeat the other when they return to the ring.
The victor is probably headed for a run-in with Lauren Price, who, after defeating fellow Brit Natasha Jonas at the start of the month, added the IBF and WBC welterweight crowns to her WBA and IBO belts.

What's been said?
Mayer, who told SunSport about her love of an English breakfast, said: “She didn't have a rematch clause but if a fight warrants a rematch and the fans want to see it, I'm not opposed to doing that.
“And speaking from experiences, I didn't get my rematches that were very much deserving and the fans missed out on that.
“I missed out on that too but also the fans missed out on that. So that's what I'm about, just put on the best fight.
“If they want to see it, we'll just do it again and eliminate all the doubt and hopefully nothing crazy happens this time, so we don't have any other excuses.”
