How to watch Natasha Jonas vs Ivana Habazin - TV channel, live stream details, ringwalk times
Liverpool-born boxer and two-weight world champion Natasha Jonas is set to meet Ivana Habazin at the Exhibition Centre on Saturday in a huge unification fight. It will be the first time Jonas has taken the ring since she beat Mikaela Mayer after 10 rounds of boxing at the M&S Bank Arena in January of this year.
The 40-year-old is a local hero and is the IBF welterweight world champion, while she also boasts an unbeaten record of six fights since 2021, which includes victories over Kandi Wyatt, Patricia Berghult and Chris Namus. Habazin, on the other hand, is a 35-year-old Croatian professional boxer, and she won the vacant WBC welterweight title with a win over Kinga Mayer back in April.
Habazin won her last fight on home soil in Croatia and against a lesser opponent, so she will need to produce an upset in order to overcome Jonas this weekend. Also on Saturday night, Lauren Price and Bexcy Mateus will contest their own respective bout. Price will make the first defence of her WBA welterweight, which she won in May this year.
