Natasha Jonas praying to make it third time luckly in world title showdown on Khan-Brook show

Liverpool's ground-breaking boxer Natasha Jonas will be praying she can make it third time lucky when she challenges for a world title against Poland's Ewa Piatkowska on the undercard of the Kell Brook-Amir Khan showdown on February 19.

Tasha - aka Miss GB - was narrowly outpointed by Irish fighting legend and long time rival Katie Taylor last May, which came just nine months after she appeared to have taken Terri Harper's world crown from her only for the bout to be controversially ruled a draw allowing the champion to keep her belts.

That showdown was at super-feather, and the Taylor contest at lightweight - but the title fight with Polish champion Piatkowski will be for the vacant World Boxing Organisation's Super Welter title - and once again it will be a stern challenge for the Scouser who blazed a trail for women’s boxing in 2012 when she became the first British female to box for Britain at the Olympics.
