Terri Harper will fight Natalie Zimmerman in a WBO women’s lightweight title fight on May 23.
The fight, which will be shown on DAZN, is set to take place at the Eco-Power Stadium in Doncaster.
Twenty-eight-year-old Harper, the current WBO champion, is 15-2-2 (6) as a pro and won her title last September when outpointing Rhiannon Dixon over 10 rounds. She also has wins against Ivana Habazin, Hannah Rankin, and Viviane Obenauf.
Zimmerman, 13-0 (3), is a 42-year-old German whose career has mostly been fought in her homeland. Her two most recent bouts, however, wins against Katerina Dvorakova and Orsolya Moldovan, took place in Spain. This fight against Harper will be the first time she has boxed for a world title.
Also on the May 23 show in Doncaster will be a lightweight fight between Maxi Hughes and Archie Sharp, as well as fights between James Flint and Haithem Laamouz, and Reece Mould and Lewis Sylvester.
