Natasha Jonas eyes up Katie Taylor as retirement bout for both fighters

Natasha Jonas has eyed up a rematch and one final bout with Katie Taylor before the two fighters sail off into retirement.

Taylor is already in the process of organising a rematch with Chantelle Cameron after her shock loss last month.

But long-time rival Jonas and her camp believe she could fight Taylor in a final fight for both boxers.

Speaking to Sky Sports, she said: "100 per cent, I need to put my mind at peace, I need revenge."

While trainer Joe Gallagher said: ""I've said to Tasha, 'Your perfect farewell fight is you and Katie Taylor, it doesn't need world titles, it just needs you two, two old rivals over the last 12 or 13 years to have one last dance and go off into the sunset together'.

"I still think it's a competitive fight, it's just a rivalry that we'd like to see again. It was a great fight last time in Manchester behind closed doors and it would be great for the public.

"It would be good for both of them to go out that way, that's me in my romantic mode!"

Taylor and Jonas met in Manchester in May 2021 behind closed doors with the Bray fighter coming out on top.
