Natasha Jonas vs Mikaela Mayer this weekend !!
The upcoming showdown between Natasha Jonas and Mikaela Mayer is set to be a monumental clash, and predicting the victor is no easy feat. We, the Finesse Boxing Team, hold immense respect for both fighters, though we've been quite vocal about our desire to face the eventual winner.
Coming from Olympic backgrounds like ourselves, Jonas and Mayer have diligently worked to reach this pinnacle – headlining a significant event in the bustling boxing city of Liverpool. Having arrived here on Wednesday, the palpable buzz surrounding the fight is truly exhilarating. Witnessing two female fighters take the spotlight in such a grand show is fantastic.
This match, in our view, is a genuine 50/50 battle. We can make a compelling case for both boxers, and we anticipate a closely contested bout. Our inclination slightly favors Jonas, primarily due to the potential impact of home advantage in a closely contested fight.
Considering Jonas is the naturally larger fighter and Mayer is stepping into the 147lbs category for the first time, there's a substantial factor to ponder. While Mayer has experience in the UK, the influence of a home crowd in a tight contest can be significant, and we believe this fight might go the distance.
Being ringside to witness their clash up close is exciting, and naturally, we aspire to see our representative face the winner. However, the possibility hinges on the match's outcome, especially with Mayer confirming a rematch clause. The feasibility of our next opponent remains uncertain, but our commitment to taking on any challenger in the 147lbs category remains unwavering.
Mayer's fluctuation across different weights in recent fights doesn't deter our readiness to move up in weight for notable names, titles, and challenges. It's a commonplace occurrence in women's boxing, and we are open to such opportunities.
Looking ahead, we anticipate being back in action by April at the latest. While a world title shot would be ideal, the prospect of fighting in Cardiff for the first time is also appealing. Having competed worldwide as amateurs, the chance to box at home holds significant personal value, and it seems like a promising possibility.
As the tension builds, Mayer acknowledges that respect for Jonas will take a back seat once the first bell rings. The clash for the IBF belt in Jonas's hometown promises to be a riveting encounter between two top-tier athletes, and the dynamics are set to shift dramatically once they step into the ring. It's a duel between seasoned contenders at the peak of their game, with both fighters determined not to yield to their opponent.
