Shields fight ‘a definite possibility’ for Jonas in 2023 ‘I won’t be distracted’

Natasha Jonas fighting fellow world champion Claressa Shields in 2023 is “a definite possibility”, according to promoter Ben Shalom, but the Briton insists she will not be distracted by the possible bout.

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 November 12, live on Sky Sports.

After becoming undisputed middleweight champion with a stunning victory over Savannah Marshall at the O2 Arena in October, Shields said she would be open to returning to 154lbs, where she was formerly undisputed champion, to face Jonas in either the UK or the US.

“It’s a definite possibility,” Shalom told Sky Sports News.

“Claressa, now the biggest star in women’s boxing, she’s got options.”
