Terri Harper and Natasha Jonas meet in the first world title fight on UK soil since the coronavirus lockdown on a huge night for the Matchroom Fight Camp in August.
Boxing is back behind closed doors with Eddie Hearn staging shows from the Matchroom headquarters in Brentwood throughout the month – culminating in a huge double header featuring Dillian Whyte vs Alexander Povetkin and Katie Taylor vs Delfine Persoon on August 22.
There is plenty of action before that with perhaps the pick of the fights seeing Jonas challenge for Harper’s WBC and IBO super-featherweight on a history-making night.
Their clash will be the first ever all-British world title fight between two women with Liverpudlian Jonas looking to dethrone 23-year-old Harper, who added the WBC belt to her IBO strap after her superb unanimous points decision win over Eva Wahlstrom in February.
