Natasha Jonas successfully defended her IBF welterweight title against Mikaela Mayer in Liverpool, with Mayer fighting for a title in a third weight class. The contest was marked by Jonas's strong start, Mayer's increasing pressure and ring control, and a notable condition of Jonas's left eye by the 10th round. Mayer shared her final thoughts before the fight, maintaining a calm demeanor. The undercard saw Mark Jeffers retain his English title with a unanimous points win over Germaine Brown, Karriss Artingstall secure a victory, and Ste Clarke win on his professional debut. The local Liverpool crowd was vocally supportive of Jonas, contributing to the event's vibrant atmosphere.
Mikaela Mayer pouring it on the 10th. Jonas's left eye is a mess and Mayer is trying to put a pace on her. It's working.
I have Mayer up 86-85 after nine. This is a fantastic fight and itโs very very close. #JonasMayer

Judges, Jonas turfโฆ Mayer might need a KO, who knows
Great fight between Jonas and Mayer. 10th round could be very important for both. Momentum is in Mayer's favor right now though.
Mayer drills Jonas with an uppercut just as Jonas was starting to put together decisive work. This fight has been all over the place in the best way.
This #JonasMayer fight is fantastic. Tenth round coming up ...
How are you scoring this? #JonasMayer
Mikaela Margarito tonight. Relentless and canโt be hurt by anything. #JonasMayer
Beautiful double left hook to the body/head sets up a great 8th round for Mikaela Mayer. Jonas going back with some good work, walking Mayer into hard shots with both hands, but she canโt stop the avalanche from coming downhill. #JonasMayer

Agreed, mate. Mayer is starting and finishing the exchanges, sheโs on the front foot, sheโs controlling the pace and sheโs well ahead. https://t.co/NphO4gP61q

Looks like Jonas starts each round more active and that lasts a good portion of the round, but with Mayer having these mini-rallies at the very end of each frame.
