Natasha Jonas and Ivana Habazin, and Lauren Price and Bexcy Mateus, made weight for their welterweight world-title fights on Saturday night at the Exhibition Centre in Liverpool.
Jonas, 40 and the IBF champion, can be expected to next fight Price if she succeeds in winning from Croatia’s Habazin, 35, the WBC title.
The 30-year-old Price is the WBA champion. Mateus, 29 and of Colombia, is, like Price, undefeated in seven.
Viddal Riley will fight at heavyweight, and concede two stones in weight to Dan Garber, a late replacement for Steve Eloundou Ntere, who withdrew as Riley’s opponent for their scheduled cruiserweight contest.
