Manchester’s Co-op Live arena will be the site of a highly anticipated bout on Saturday, 24 August as lightweight world champion Rhiannon Dixon defends her WBO belt against fellow Briton Terri Harper. Dixon, from Warrington, has been undefeated in 10 professional fights and is making her first title defense after winning the belt against Karen Elizabeth Carabajal in April.
Harper, who hails from England, is the WBA light-middleweight champion and a former super-featherweight champion. She will be aiming to add the WBO belt to her collection and become a three-weight champion in the upcoming fight against Dixon. Harper spoke highly of her opponent, acknowledging her respectful demeanor and lack of ego. This will surely make for an exciting match-up between the two talented British fighters, with both women aiming for victory in what promises to be a thrilling bout.
