Natasha Jonas is unfazed at being an underdog once more ahead of her meeting with old adversary Katie Taylor this weekend after taking satisfaction in upsetting the odds in a controversial draw against Terri Harper.

Many felt Jonas deserved to have her hand raised last August at the end of a pulsating battle with Harper, a 1-10 favourite with bookmakers who retained her WBC super-featherweight title after some debatable judges’ scores.

Jonas’ display nevertheless boosted her standing and while a rematch has failed to materialise, she accepted the opportunity to move up a division to take on her London 2012 conqueror and the undisputed lightweight champion.

While she has no intention of mimicking Persoon’s tactics at the Manchester Arena, Jonas believes the Belgian might just have punctuated Taylor’s air of invincibility.

Jonas added: “I know that I’m not boxing the aura that is, the legacy that is, the legend that is Katie Taylor, I’m just boxing another human.

“Everyone’s got weaknesses, everyone’s human, and I will be trying to capitalise on them and put my best foot forward.

“Everyone mentions the Persoon fights but styles make fights and I’m not Persoon but what I do think Persoon did was make her look human.”
