“Miss GB” Natasha Jonas (15-2-1, 9KO) enters into a unified world title contest on Saturday, December 14 in her home city of Liverpool, live on Sky Sports.
The 40-year-old Brit puts her IBF World welterweight title on the line against WBC titlist Ivana Habazin (23-5, 7KO), 35 from Croatia, in the main event of a BOXXER-promoted card.
The Croatian has only ever lost to world champions, including Cecilia Braekhus, Claressa Shields, and Terri Harper.
Two-weight world champion Jonas has won her last six on the spin, whereas Ivana has lost two from her last 10 bout.
The British southpaw is tough, experienced, aggressive and rugged. She earned her nickname, “Miss GB”, when she became the first British female boxer to qualify for the Olympics.
She is compact, explosive and well-rounded, but lacking power in her fists, although she has scored nine KOs from 15 victories. Her last knockout win was against Kandi Wyatt in July 2023, where her backhand landed so copiously and accurately, that referee Marcus McDonnell had to step in and save her 33 seconds into the eighth round, despite still standing and able to box on. The Canadian had eaten way too many clean backhands and it was the right decision from the experienced official.
In the opposite corner, Habazin is a loose fighter, very fluid and light and bouncy on her feet. She doesn’t carry a high guard or tuck up tight, preferring to have her hands lower down and looser.
She is a two-time world welterweight champion, having won the IBF title in 2014 and the WBC belt 10 years later in 2024.
Shared opponent, Terri Harper, drew with Jonas in 2020, but defeated Habazin via unanimous decision in 2023, so that provides a gauge as to where these two stand.
Jonas is motivated to win by the prospect of a potential all-British showdown with domestic rival, Lauren Price, who defends her IBO World welterweight title on the undercard. If both boxers win their respective fights, they will be matched in a huge headlining fight in 2025, so there’s a lot at stake for them each.
Both Jonas and Habazin are tough and experienced, but Tasha is the hometown favourite and will be incredibly hard to defeat in her home city, roared on by a hostile, biased crowd and potentially favoured on the scorecards when the rounds appear to be close.
Habazin is a great fighter, with a lovely, loose, fluid style, but I don’t believe she is a better opponent than Mikaela Mayer, who Jonas edged in her last fight.
I’m expecting Jonas to win on points in a fight where she will get caught at times, but ultimately outwork her opponent. Due to Habazin’s style and stance, where she is fairly open, there could be some very clean, striking shots land from Jonas that will catch the judges’ eye at ringside and swing the rounds her way.

Tim Rickson is the WhichBookie boxing analyst who joined the team midway through 2022 and will be providing boxing betting tips throughout the year for all of the big fights.
All of the boxing tips currently published on WhichBookie are completely free of charge. Remember to check back regularly and subscribe to our social media channels to be notified of when new free boxing tips are published.
Yes. All tips remain live here on WhichBookie. You can view all past boxing tips here on this page.
If you’d like to back any of the selections, we recommend a bookmaker to do so with. These are usually the bookies offering the best odds on the selection at the time of posting the tip but it may be worth checking other bookies in case the odds have changed. There may also be betting offers associated with the tip that are only available with specific bookmakers that are worth taking into consideration.
We never recommend an actual stake to use for each bet as this will vary between people depending on the size of their betting bank. Never bet more than you can afford to lose and always stick to your staking plan.
WhichBookie boxing analyst Tim Rickson will publish tips whenever he finds value in a bet. If there is a big fight coming up, it’s likely that he will cover it but generally, they’ll be posted whenever a good bet comes about.
Many of the big boxing matches are only available via Pay Per View. However, you may be able to find streams of some of the less-popular fights via the Bet365 Live Streaming service. Bet365 provides over 100,000 live streams of sporting events every year and is regarded as one of the best services for streaming sports online without charge.
There are several options when it comes to betting on boxing, and the more you know, the better your chances of success. We will now go into more detail about some of the different betting markets that you will find, and discuss a few potential strategies you could use.
As with most sports, the outright market is probably the simplest, because you’re just betting on who will win the fight. There are no other criteria to consider, other than the fact that with many of the best bookies for boxing, you can also bet on the draw. However, draws in boxing are very rare and not many people tend to back this outcome.
Bear in mind that in many fights, one boxer tends to be a heavy favourite and it’s usually quite easy to pick the winner. There don’t tend to be that many shock results. Therefore, the odds on the favourite are often very low, even if you use the bookie with the best odds as described earlier in the article.
If you’re happy betting at short odds, you can certainly get a good success rate simply by backing short price favourites in boxing. But many people prefer to look for bigger wins. So you may sometimes need to look at some of the other markets to get a better return on your bet.
This market lets you choose not only who will win the fight, but how they will win. Different methods of victory are usually grouped as follows:
So because there are more possible outcomes in this market, the odds are higher than just the outright win market.
The Round Betting market offers the opportunity to get the highest odds. Here you can bet on which fighter will win, and which round he/she will win in.
Options to bet on a fighter to win on points, or to bet on the draw, are both also included in this market. In a 12 round bout, that gives 27 different possible outcomes. Therefore, the odds on each one are naturally going to be much higher. Think of it as the equivalent of the correct score market in football betting.
So the round betting market offers the biggest potential wins when betting on boxing. But of course, it’s harder to predict the outcome. You do have the option to split your stake to cover more than one outcome though. So if you felt that a fighter would win within the first 3 rounds, you could split your stake to back him to win in round 1, round 2 and round 3. The odds would mean you’d get a good profit if any of those outcomes happened.
This is a simple market in which you decide whether the fight will last all 12 rounds or not. Therefore there are only two outcomes to bet on, Yes or No.
It’s possible to get a decent success rate when betting on this market. Check the stats and the history of each boxer and ask yourself the following:
The answers to these key questions should give you a good idea of whether the fight is likely to go the distance or not. There can still be surprises, but you’ll certainly win more bets than you lose.
This market allows you to bet on the total number of rounds the fight will last for. The advantage here is that you do not need to specify who will win, just how long it will last.
For example, let’s consider a market of Over/Under 3.5 Rounds. There are only two options to bet on, either Over 3.5 Rounds or Under 3.5 Rounds. Therefore, you would approach the market as follows:
You will find that similar markets are available for Over/under 4.5, Over/Under 5.5, Over/Under 6.5 etc.
As any professional punter will tell you, the key to making a profit is not knowing who will win every time. Because obviously, that is not possible. The real trick is making sure that when you do win, you get the best possible odds on your bet.
We studied the odds for outright bets on every professional boxing match over a period of three months. We wanted to find the best bookies for boxing odds over a prolonged period of time.
As you would expect, Betfair and Bet365 are better than most of the competition. But the results showed that Betfred have the highest odds overall and came out well in some of the other markets like round betting.
Betfred were consistently best or equal best odds on nearly every outright market we recorded. They blew some of the other online bookies away in terms of the value they offered on boxing, and their user ratings are good too. So if you don’t have an account with them yet, we would definitely recommend joining.
