Rising heavyweight Johnny Fisher has sustained an injury, causing his scheduled contest with Andriy Rudenko to be cancelled. However, the planned broadcast will move forward on Saturday, September 28th, live worldwide on DAZN, as Rhiannon Dixon makes the first defense of her WBO lightweight title against domestic rival Terri Harper in what promises to be an electric all-British match-up. Queensberry Promotions has changed the venue from London to the Canon Medical Arena in Sheffield, England.

 

Warrington’s Dixon (10-0, 1 KO) picked up the vacant WBO crown by outpointing Karen Elizabeth Carabajal over ten rounds on the undercard of Zelfa Barrett’s win over Jordan Gill at the AO Arena in Manchester last April – adding a world title to her Commonwealth and European Titles at 135 pounds.

 

Denaby Main’s Harper (14-2-2, 6 KOs), a former champion at super featherweight and junior middleweight, will be looking to bounce back from her stoppage loss to WBO welterweight champion Sandy Ryan last time out at Sheffield Arena in March.
