Harper poised to harpoon

World Boxing Council super featherweight champion British Terri Harper will defend her title against compatriot Natasha Jonas at the Matchroom Fight Camp in Brentwood, Essex, UK, next Friday 7th August, live on Sky Sports and DAZN.

Harper, undefeated in 10 bouts, comes from taking the WBC crown by defeating Eva Wahlstrom last February. Jonas (9-1, 7 KOs), Britain’s first Olympic female boxer, recovered from her only professional loss against Viviane Obenauf with three consecutive victories over Feriche Mashauri, Bec Connolly and Bianka Majlath.
