(AUGUST 6) Undefeated WBO
Super-Featherweight World Champion Ewa Brodnicka has signed a
multi-fight promotional deal with Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom Boxing
and has targeted a unification clash with the winner of Terri
Harper vs. Natasha Jonas.
Poland’s Brodnicka (19-0, 2 KOs),
a former European Lightweight Champion, outpointed Irma
Balijagic Adler to land the interim WBO Super-Featherweight
World Title in May 2017 before capturing the full crown against
Sarah Pucek in Czestochowa a year later.
‘Kleo’ has made five successful defences of her title, all in
Poland, most recently decisioning Belgium’s Djemilla Gontaruk in
March, and the 36-year-old is determined to get her hands on
Harper’s WBC and IBO belts.
Brodnicka is the latest addition to Matchroom’s unrivalled
stable of women’s boxing talent that includes Undisputed
Lightweight World Champion Katie Taylor and Undisputed
Welterweight ruler Cecilia Braekhus, amongst a host of other
contenders.
“I’m delighted to team up with Eddie Hearn and Matchroom
Boxing,” said Brodnicka. “Women’s boxing is on fire right now
and I want to be in all the big fights starting with the
unification match up between the winner of Harper and Jonas. I’m
excited for the future and can’t wait for my return to the
ring.”
“I’m delighted to welcome Ewa to the team” said Eddie Hearn.
“This sets up a huge unification fight between the winner of
Terri Harper vs. Natasha Jonas at Fight Camp at a time where
women’s boxing continues to go from strength to strength.”
