Natasha Jonas will face more international opposition in her next fight.

The super-welterweight world champion is set to box again next month, exclusively live on Sky Sports.

Jonas, from Liverpool, holds the WBO, IBF and WBC world titles in the 154-pound division and was originally meant to be putting them on the line when she returns on July 1.

‘Miss GB’ will be in action at the AO Arena in Manchester, as part of the supporting cast to Savannah Marshall’s comeback against Franchon Crews-Dezurn as the Hartlepool hero heads up to super-middleweight to challenge the American for the IBF, WBA, WBC and WBO crowns.

Marshall may be stepping up in weight, following her defeat at the hands of Claressa Shields when the pair met for all the marbles in the middleweight division last year, but Boxing Scene has been informed that the aforementioned Jonas (13-2-1, 8 KOs), 38, will drop to welterweight for her next contest.

A world title is expected to be on the line, though, with the vacant IBF bauble up for grabs as the Scouser faces Canada’s Kandi Wyatt.

“There is truth [to the rumours about me fighting Jonas],” the Calgary native told BoxingScene.com earlier this week. “I’ll be back in the UK on July 1.”

Jonas won all three of the titles she currently holds up at super-welterweight within a nine-month period last year, beating Chris Namus for the vacant WBO title before adding the WBC belt against Patricia Berghult last September and capping off a scintillating spell with an unanimous decision win over Marie-Eve Dicaire to capture the IBF trinket.

Wyatt, meanwhile, is 32 and has previous experience at world title level, having been stopped at the hands of Jessica McCaskill inside seven rounds when the pair clashed for all of the welterweight gold back in 2021.

She has also been in the UK before, earlier this year, when she upset then-European welterweight champion Kirstie Bavington by split decision to clinch the vacant WBA Inter-Continental title at The Hangar Events Venue in Wolverhampton, exclusively live on BBC iPlayer and Fightzone, as part of the supporting cast to Hannah Rankin's shut-out win over Logan Holler.

The fight between Ring Magazine champion Jonas and Wyatt (11-4, 3 KOs) is part of a card promoted by Ben Shalom for Boxxer which features Olympic silver medallist Ben Whittaker in his fourth professional outing as well as Mark Heffron's British super-middleweight title defence against Zak Chelli and the return of undefeated super-middleweight talent Callum Simpson.
