Natasha Jonas becomes two-weight world champion after stoppage win over Kandi Wyatt

Natasha Jonas wrote her name into the boxing history books after she became a two-weight world champion with a stoppage win over Kandi Wyatt.

Jonas, who already held the WBC, IBF and WBO super-welterweight world titles, now holds the IBF welterweight crown after stopping Wyatt 30 seconds into round number eight at the AO Arena in Manchester.

The 39-year-old, who is trained by Joe Gallagher at Champs Camp in Manchester, dominated from the first bell and continually hurt Wyatt with her left-hand. Jonas started so well, she actually rocked her 32-year-old opponent less than a minute into the fight.
