NATASHA JONAS AND IVANA HABAZIN CLASH TO UNIFY IBF AND WBC WORLD WELTERWEIGHT TITLES IN A HUGE LIVERPOOL HOMECOMING BATTLE!

IBF World Champion Natasha Jonas will fight WBC World Title holder Ivana Habazin in a huge hometown unification showdown on Saturday, December 14th at Exhibition Centre Liverpool, presented by BOXXER, live and exclusively on Sky Sports in the UK and Ireland and Peacock in the USA.

A win for Jonas will put her on a collision course with Lauren Price MBE, the WBA, IBO & Ring Magazine World Champion early next year.

Jonas (15-2-1, 9 KOs) will top the bill in her hometown of Liverpool in her sixth straight world title contest under the BOXXER promotional banner.

‘Miss GB’ Jonas edged a split decision victory in an epic back-and-forth battle with former unified world champion Mikaela Mayer last time out at the M&S Bank Arena in Liverpool in January.

Undefeated in her last six fights, the 40-year-old from Toxteth will now look to cement her position at the top of the welterweight division as she bids to become a two-weight unified world champion having previously unified the WBC, WBO and IBF World Titles at super welterweight.

Habazin (23-6, 7 KOs) is the current WBC World Champion having outpointed Kinga Magyar to capture the vacant green and gold belt in April this year. The 35-year-old from Zagreb, Croatia, who has shared the ring with some of the greatest female fighters of the modern era including Cecilia Brækhus and Claressa Shields, has previously held the IBF World Welterweight Title and is also a former IBO World Middleweight Champion.
