Natasha Jonas sends Liverpool message as Patricia Berghult plan becomes clear

Natasha Jonas claimed there is 'no place like home' after she weighed in for her homecoming fight at the M&S Bank Arena tomorrow night.

Jonas became WBO super-welterweight world champion after a second-round knockout victory over Christian Namus at the Manchester Arena in February. The 38-year-old had previously enjoyed a terrific amateur career, in which she became the first female boxer to compete for Great Britain, and the first woman to compete in the sport for Team GB at the Olympic Games.

Now, she has the opportunity to unify the division against undefeated WBC champion Patricia Berghult tomorrow night. The fight kicks off a monumental September for women’s boxing.
