Terri Harper To Feature On Josh Taylor vs. Regis Prograis Card
By Elliot Foster
Terri Harper has had her return date confirmed.
The IBO world female super-featherweight champion is just 22 years old but is unbeaten in eight fights.
Harper, from Denaby in Yorkshire, has already boxed three times this year, winning all of her 2019 outings quickly.
But she will be back in the ring on October 26, exclusively live in the UK on Sky Sports Box Office and DAZN Stateside, at the O2 Arena in London.
Harper has been added to the supporting cast of Josh Taylor’s World Boxing Super Series super-lightweight final showdown against Regis Prograis.
The Scot will put his IBF crown on the line against the man from New Orleans, who has the WBA and WBC Diamond belts, while the vacant Ring Magazine bauble will also be at stake.
Eva Wahlström, the reigning WBC female world champion, has been contacted regarding a potential match-up, according to Harper’s manager Stefy Bull, and further details regarding her opponent on the monster night of boxing are set to follow.
Former WBO world heavyweight champion Joseph Parker returns to a British ring to face Dereck Chisora, while there is a crossroads lightweight dust-up between three-weight world champion Ricky Burns and ex-IBF featherweight king Lee Selby.
Lawrence Okolie steps up in class from British level to take on Yves Ngabu in a challenge for the European cruiserweight title and Conor Benn will also feature.
New additions to the card will be revealed in due course.
