Terri Harper, a former champion in the 130 and 154-pound weight divisions, will challenge unbeaten WBO 135-pound titleholder Rhiannon Dixon in a highly anticipated fight on September 28 at Utilita Arena in Sheffield, England. Originally planned for August 24 in Manchester, the bout got rescheduled due to an injury suffered by Jack Catterall.
Dixon, boasting a flawless record of 10 wins and 1 knockout, will defend her title gained earlier this year. Meanwhile, Harper, with a record of 14 wins, 2 losses, and 2 draws with 6 knockouts, aims to redeem herself after a recent defeat at the same venue. Harper has previously held the WBA 154-pound title and has had a varying performance history at Utilita Arena.
The upcoming showdown will be a supporting event for the Dalton Smith vs. Jon Fernandez EBU junior welterweight title fight. Ranked as The Ring’s top junior middleweight, Harper seeks to claim another significant championship victory in front of her hometown supporters.
