Anthony Joshua has demanded that women’s boxing receives as much praise as men’s as Natasha Jonas gears up to finally become a world champion.
Jonas, Joshua’s 2012 Olympics Team GB team-mate, is hoping to secure a world title opportunity in the next few months as part of her new deal with Sky Sports Boxing and BOXXER.
“Give credit to the female fighters – Ramla Ali, Katie Taylor, Tasha Jonas,” two-time heavyweight champion Joshua said.

“So many good female fighters.
“Then you’ve got me, Tyson Fury, Dillian Whyte. Big us all up!
“We are all assets. It doesn’t matter, female or male.
“Give people their credit and their dues.”
Jonas has twice fallen agonisingly, and arguably controversially, short of becoming a world champion.
