Boxing Live: With Natasha Jonas, the British fighter of the year, joining a huge bill on Saturday, June 17, the biggest boxing event of the summer just got greater.
The rematch between Liam Smith and Chris Eubank Jr. will be the main event of the massive night of fights, while Savannah Marshall will also battle Franchon Crews-Dezurn for the undisputed super-middleweight world title in Manchester.
As of right now, BOXXER can confirm that Jonas will defend her WBC, WBO, IBF, and Ring Magazine super-welterweight titles against an as-yet-unidentified opponent at the same event.
The Merseyside favourite won three notable matches last year—two of them in Manchester—over Chris Namus, Patricia Berghult, and Marie Eve Dicaire, and went on to win the gold medal.
She became the first woman to win the prized British Boxing Board of Control Fighter of the Year award thanks to her astounding hat-trick of victories.
The prestigious Lonsdale Belt will be up for grabs in Manchester as Mark “Kid Dynamite” Heffron, the current British super-middleweight champion, takes on Zak Chelli.
Anthony Sims Jr., an American prospect, was defeated by Chelli in February after a magnificent performance that surpassed all previous records. The Londoner, who was just nominated for the British championship, will now be hoping to cause a major upset in the North West when he squares off against Oldham resident Heffron, who shares a stable with Jonas at Champs Camp and is handled by the two-time trainer of the year Joe Gallagher.
On Boxxer.com, a night of elite championship boxing is currently available for purchase, with a number of important events still to be added.
The AO Arena Manchester is projected to be totally sold out with the anticipated 18,000-person audience because a large number of keen fans have already acquired thousands of tickets during the pre-sale period.
