iRock Nashville Music News Update – 90 sec – 2026-08-28 5:45 PM
Mikaela Mayer, once a teenage guitarist in the all-girl metal band Lia-Fail, is now stepping into the boxing ring to fight for three world titles. At just 15, she shared the stage with rock legends like Nita Strauss, Avenged Sevenfold, and My Chemical Romance. Tonight, she faces WBO super welterweight champion Chantelle Cameron in Birmingham, a significant moment in her impressive transition from music to sports.
The journey from the stage to the boxing ring hasn’t been easy. Mayer’s early days with Lia-Fail were filled with the struggles of touring, including long nights and tough conditions. However, those experiences shaped her resilience and determination. After a rebellious phase, she found her calling in boxing, eventually earning accolades such as a bronze medal at the 2012 World Championships and becoming the WBO female super-featherweight champion.
Nita Strauss, who played a pivotal role in Mayer’s early music career, will be in her corner tonight, showcasing their enduring friendship. As Mayer steps into the ring, fans of both rock and boxing will be cheering for her remarkable journey and the strength she brings from her rock ‘n’ roll roots.
