Jonas expect financial struggle amid coronavirus

Natasha Jonas says she will be among boxers facing “difficult” times financially as a result of coronavirus.

Jonas, 35, was due to fight for a world title for the first time against Doncaster’s Terri Harper on 24 April until the bout was pushed back to June.

With countless events across the country postponed, she says fighters will badly miss being paid for bouts. “I suppose we are like a lot of self-employed people in that when we box, we get paid,” she said.
