NATASHA JONAS believes women’s boxing is awash with rivalries and is not solely relying on Katie Taylor’s much-anticipated showdown against Amanda Serrano to bring in fans.

Taylor and Serrano will make history on April 30 in the first female fight to headline Madison Square Garden.

With Ireland’s Taylor and Puerto Rico’s Serrano, who has held world titles in seven weight categories, regarded as two of the finest fighters of their era their upcoming bout is among the best that can be made – male or female.

But Jonas believes grudge bouts between middleweight pair Claressa Shields and Savannah Marshall or super-featherweights Mikaela Mayer and Alycia Baumgardner could also be significant in raising the profile for women.

Jonas said: “There’s a few fights in women’s boxing that can do that now.

“Taylor-Serrano’s definitely one of them, Sav-Claressa for me is more important because I’ve invested in Sav, she’s my Team GB team-mate. Claressa, I’ve known very well since she was a kid at London 2012.

“Mikaela Mayer and Baumgardner is a tasty fight…. the more entertaining it is, and we are an entertainment sport, the more people will want to watch,” she added.
