Boxing Match: After achieving her own world title dreams in a major unification match with Hannah Rankin, Natasha Jonas could try to force a rematch with Katie Taylor.
Taylor beat the Liverpudlian on points in their first bout in May 2021, but Jonas has since won the WBO super-welterweight champion after stopping Chris Namus in the second round in February.
After a dramatic split decision win against Amanda Serrano last weekend, Taylor’s career reached new heights, and Jonas is still hoping to force her way back into the Irish star’s future plans.
“It’s no secret that I’ll never make super-feather again, so that division is out the window,” Jonas said.
“With potentially another rematch between Taylor and Serrano, Chantelle Cameron is now fighting, [Jessica] McCaskill is now fighting, so it makes sense to stay at this division and see what the outcomes of all those fights are, before going back down a weight.
“I would love a rematch with Katie [Taylor]. I think a lot of people did say they would love to see it again. It’s not impossible, I just have to put myself in a position to be mandatory and that was kind of the plan all along.”
Taylor vs Serrano was held at New York’s legendary Madison Square Garden, and Jonas has welcomed another another historic event in the development of women’s boxing.
“There’s lots of stages and barriers that we’re breaking down,” she added.
“Is it as good? There’s always a women’s fight within the fight of the year category.
“Can we sell out arenas? Well that proves that we can.
“So there’s always stages that we’re breaking down and hopefully by the time the next generation come through, there’ll be no issue, it will just be boxing.”
Jonas: Should Taylor rematch Serrano?
Despite requests for an instant rematch, Jonas believes Taylor does not need to get directly into another bruising fight with Serrano.
“It was brilliant,” she said.
“They didn’t disappoint, is the best way I can put it. I don’t think anyone expected the drama that was there but we knew that it was going to be a good fight. On such a big stage, it needed to be.
“I just think it might not be an instant rematch, but I could be wrong. I think Katie might take a fight in between and then come back.
“You can’t just have hard fight, after hard fight, all the time.”
