Rhiannon Dixon Defends WBO Title Against Harper

Rhiannon Dixon is set to defend her WBO Lightweight World Title against Terri Harper on September 28, in a highly anticipated all-British bout at Sheffield's Canon Medical Arena. With an undefeated record of 10-0, Dixon aims to prove her worth as champion after initially feeling unworthy of her title win against Karen Elizabeth Carabajal. Despite her lack of amateur experience, Dixon has quickly risen in the boxing ranks, previously capturing the Commonwealth and European titles. Harper, a former champion at multiple weights, is viewed as Dixon's toughest opponent to date, having recently adjusted to the lightweight division. Both fighters have expressed their excitement and determination for this matchup, which marks a significant event in women's boxing, airing live on DAZN. The fight is part of a larger weekend of women's boxing, promising to showcase the growing prominence of female athletes in the sport.
