Super featherweight champion of the World Boxing Council, Great Briton Terri Harper, will face the undefeated WBA world champion, the South Korean Hyun-Mi Choi, in a unifying duel, which will start next Saturday, May 15, at the AO Arena, Manchester, England.

Harper (11-0-1, 6 KOs) looked sensational when she stopped Norway’s Katharina Thanderz in nine torrid rounds to retain her WBC crown last November at SSE Arena, Wembley.
Prior to this match, Terri had an exciting draw with Natasha Jonas at Matchroom Fight Camp in August retaining her world title.

Battled hardened and seasoned Choi (18-0-1, 4 KOs), became world champion by defeating the Thai Siriwan Thongmanit, in May 2014, making several successful defenses.
Harper is undergoing a rigorous training camp because she knows full well, the high stakes involved in her next fight and is absolutely determined to show that she is the best super feather in the world.

The fight, which is promoted by Matchroom Boxing, will be televised on Sky Sports in the UK and on DAZN.
