Terri Harper will defend her WBC Super Featherweight Title against Liverpool's Natasha Jonas in front of a home crowd in Doncaster on April 24.

The 23 year-old, who was born in Denaby in South Yorkshire, won the coveted green belt against Eva Wahlstrom at the Sheffield Arena in February.

And now she will look to make her first defence against Jonas in an all British affair at the Doncaster Dome.

"It's going to be a bit special making the first defence of my WBC title in front of my hometown fans in Doncaster - I'm looking forward to the reception that I'm going to receive," said Harper.

"Natasha had the loss against Viviane Obenauf but we're not overlooking her because one loss doesn't define you as a boxer. There's a bit of pressure on me as I've just won the WBC belt and I don't want to lose it on my first defence. I'm going to train like I haven't even won it yet.

"Hopefully we can start looking at other world titles after April 24, but I just want to keep on enjoying what I'm doing, getting the wins, getting the experience under my belt and pushing forwards. I want to be fighting the best girls out there and challenging myself."

Harper boasts a perfect record of ten wins from her ten professional bouts, while Jonas' only blemish came against Viviane Obenauf in August 2018.

Jonas said: "From what I've seen, Terri is young, fit and hungry. She's explosive and quick and I rate her skill-wise as a boxer. I just obviously think I'm better!

"I'm not going to give away any game plan and I'm sure she thinks she's seen weaknesses in me too, but I won't really talk about her weaknesses - it's more about my strengths. If I enforce what I'm best at then what she's good at won't be relevant.

"This means everything. I got back into the professional side of boxing because I think there were things I didn't achieve as an amateur that I wanted to. I'm trying to do so as a pro so I can say I'm happy with what I did. It'll be tough. It always is. This is a tough sport. I just think I can do it. It'll be a dream come true."

In a big night for women's boxing, world title contender Chantelle Cameron will feature on the undercard, while rising talent Shannon Courtenay will also be on the bill.
