Natasha Jonas will defend her WBO, WBC, IBF, and Ring magazine light-middleweight titles on June 17 in Manchester.
Promotional giants BOXXER have confirmed that the 38-year-old will fight on the undercard of Liam Smith's rematch with Chris Eubank Jr at the AO Arena. Jonas, whose opponent is yet to be announced, was one of the standout British fighters in 2022, winning three world titles in just nine months.
The Scouser captured the gold with three memorable wins last year - two of those in Manchester - when she defeated Chris Namus, Patricia Berghult, and Marie Eve Dicaire. Her incredible hat-trick of feats saw her become the first woman to claim the coveted British Boxing Board of Control Fighter of the Year award.

Smith shook the boxing world by beating Eubank by TKO in the fourth round of their meeting in January. As a result, Eubank Jr activated his rematch clause. Speaking about the rematch, BOXXER chief Ben Shalom commented: "This is much bigger than the first one.
"The first one felt like the Chris Eubank Jr show, and fans didn't really believe that Liam Smith could win that fight, and he won it emphatically.
'Now Liam Smith is the A-side. Chris Eubank Jr's career is on the line. It's a massive, massive fight. But, credit to Chris Eubank Jr. He's going back into the same ring, the same arena, and it's all on the line."
