Natasha Jonas sends 'dangerous' warning to Marie-Eve Dicaire amid Claressa Shields fight talk

Natasha Jonas is determined to send another blunt message to her critics by capping off a year like no other with another world title around her waist.

Jonas will attempt to add a third super-welterweight world title to her collection when she takes on IBF champion Marie-Eve Dicaire at the Manchester Arena on Saturday night. 'Miss GB's' rise to the top of the super-welterweight division this year has been meteoric. Just seven years ago she initially called time on her boxing career.

Now, she is preparing for arguably the biggest night of her life after wins over Christian Namus and Patricia Berghult secured her the WBO and WBC crowns. Jonas was the first first female boxer to compete for Great Britain and the first woman to compete in the sport for Team GB at the Olympic Games. It has been a rollercoaster ride for the southpaw.
