Jessica McCaskill would 'love' to face British world champion in future fight
Watch Zepeda vs. Hughes Mar.16 live on DAZN
WBA and WBC women's welterweight champion Jessica McCaskill is eager to face multi-weight world champion Natasha Jonas before the latter hangs up the gloves.
However, before a fight with Jonas can be made, McCaskill must first get past another British fighter in the form of Lauren Price with a date and venue to be announced soon.
Jonas has enjoyed a career resurgence since losing to Katie Taylor in 2021 and has managed to win world titles at light middleweight and welterweight where she is the IBF champion.
If a unification fight between McCaskill and Jonas can be made, it would be a huge event in women's boxing, and the American revealed that talks are underway to make the contest a reality.
"We have a great relationship with Natasha, she’s a wonderful woman and I know she’s coming to the end of her career," McCaskill told Sky Sports.
"Not only does she deserve to have that kind of high-level fight, she’s earned it.
"We would love to fight her just out of respect, that’s the conversation we’ve had."
