NATASHA JONAS believes that 2024 will be her last year in boxing and she wants to make it the 'best chapter of the book'.
But you get the feeling a rematch with Mikaela Mayer must be on the page to ensure it is a fine send-off.
Jonas, 39, edged past the American to retain her IBF welterweight crown in a thrilling battle at the M&S Bank Arena in Liverpool on Saturday.
The Liverpudlian got the nod on a split decision but Mayer was left unimpressed by the scorecards which were 96-94 and 96-95 in the Brit's favour with one card of 97-93 to the visiting fighter.
Jonas, who had been on the end of a disappointing card when she drew with Terri Harper in 2020, admitted she understood Mayer's frustrations.
