Boxing Fight: This year, Natasha Jonas has quickly ascended to the top of the super-welterweight division.
The Liverpudlian was out of options at super-feather or lightweight a year ago, despite having survived competitive world title battles against Terri Harper and Katie Taylor.
She abruptly increased her weight to 154 pounds, and as a result, she now holds the WBC and WBO world titles. By defeating Marie-Eve Dicaire of Canada on Saturday, November 12, Jonas hopes to end the year by gaining the IBF title.
The event would cap off an exceptional year. Jonas remarked, “It’s been a whirlwind.
“Every time Ben [Shalom, her promoter] has presented me with a plan, we have followed it, and here I am a year later, perhaps holding three belts.
“I don’t think I could have asked for a greater boxing year. In my memory, I don’t believe there has ever been a boxing year like that.
Jonas is aware that defeating Dicaire would create the opportunity for a superfight the following year. A dramatic Olympic quarterfinal between the Liverpudlian and Katie Taylor took place in London in 2012. Due to Covid regulations, they boxed once more in a professional title match in 2021, but there was no audience. A rematch in front of a crowded venue or perhaps in a stadium would be quite justified given how closely the first match was contested.
“In her entire life, she has never declined a battle. I’ve also never declined one. Therefore, if it is possible, let it happen “Says Jonas about Taylor.
After defeating Savannah Marshall, Claressa Shields is now the undisputed middleweight champion. Previously, she held the title at super-welterweight. The American has previously been mentioned in connection with a prospective matchup with Jonas, should the latter prevail over Dicaire.
“You may take advantage of these possibilities when they arise in boxing. Would I agree to fight Claressa? Absolutely, but I need to win this fight first. None of the other opportunities occur if I don’t win “said Jonas.
