Super Welterweight Titles: Following her outstanding victory over Patricia Berghult on Saturday, Natasha Jonas is considering her options now that she has opened the door to unquestioned status.
The Liverpudlian defeated the dangerous Berghult by unanimous decision to become the WBC and WBO super welterweight world champion in front of her home supporters. This performance was undoubtedly the most successful of her career.
When Jonas defeated Chris Namús by second-round TKO in February, she advanced three weight classes and put an end to her protracted search for her first-world title.
“I was just so happy and relieved, you through all the stuff in training camp and just want to replicate that,” Jonas told Sky Sports News.
“I think undisputed is definitely an option. All I’ve ever wanted is to broaden my options because for a very long time the pickings were slim so it gives me options.
“I can move back down because it’s not my natural weight or I can go on and be an undisputed champion.
“We’ll see, we’ll go away and discuss with Ben (Boxxer CEO Ben Shalom), myself and Joe (trainer Joe Gallagher) and see what the best option is for me.”
When given the chance to unify the titles in her own city, Jonas declined to compete on this Saturday’s historic all-female programme, which features Savannah Marshall and Claressa Shields as its co-headliners.
Before Marshall and Shields engage in their weekend-long battle, action gets underway with the return of Lauren Price and Karriss Artingstall, followed by Caroline Dubois’ matchup with Milena Koleva and a unification match between Mikaela Mayer and Alycia Baumgardner.
“It (women’s boxing) is flying, like we’ve just heard with the football, once you get that crest of a wave you have to keep riding it,” said Jonas.
“We have to keep putting the exciting fights on, we have to keep pushing it on the biggest platforms in every sense and grow it from the ground up.
“We’ve still got a bit of a way to go, but we have come a long way.”
