According to one judge, Jonas won all ten rounds in Manchester<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Unified champion Natasha Jonas outclassed Marie-Eve Dicaire in Manchester to add the IBF title to her WBC and WBO light-middleweight belts.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

The Liverpudlian, 38, won her first world title in February and then unified the division in September.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

And she capped a memorable year for herself and women’s boxing by claiming her third world title in nine months.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jonas claimed a unanimous win on points to condemn Canada’s Dicaire, 36, to just her second professional defeat.<\/span><\/p>\n

The judges scored the fight 100-90, 98-92 and 97-93 in favour of Jonas.<\/span><\/p>\n

“It was very tough, I knew it would be tough,” Jonas told BBC 5 Live after the fight.<\/span><\/p>\n

“This has by far been my best year in boxing and to think at one stage it was almost over and I nearly walked away from boxing.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Now, 12 months on I’m here as unified champion with three belts and a Ring (Magazine) belt.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Great Britain’s first female Olympic boxer has now won 13 fights since turning professional in 2017, with two losses and one draw, while Dicaire, whose only previous defeat was against Claressa Shields last year, slips to an 18-2 record.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jonas ends unforgettable year with another high<\/h3>\n
