Taylor moved to 18 wins from 18 bouts while Jonas has now lost twice in 12 outings
Katie Taylor produced a gutsy late rally to edge a stunning fight with Natasha Jonas and defend her world titles at Manchester Arena.
The Irish fighter started quickly but her four lightweight belts were at risk as Jonas began to land hard shots as the fight progressed.
Jonas showed greater power but Taylor s speed and punch volume were key down the stretch as she won late rounds.

The Guardian described the “desperately tight” contest as a close and bruising fight. It was a shock opening for the favoured fighter (Parker) but he looked off balance as the blow to the back of his head landed with crude force. Chisora, seeking an early finish, poured forward but Parker was not badly hurt. The New Zealander managed to keep the marauding Chisora at bay to see out the rest of the round without further mishap. “Parker, the more skillful fighter, had sporadic success but he struggled to stem the brawling style of Chisora,” the newspaper’s report of the first half of the fight read.
