LONDON, UK (February 11, 2025) – Chloe Watson defends her European Flyweight Title against Jasmina Zapotoczna as the final fight card is now confirmed for BOXXER’s historic all-women’s event on Friday, March 7th at the Royal Albert Hall in London, live on Sky Sports in the UK and Ireland.

Watson captured the European Flyweight crown with a unanimous points win over Justine Lallemand in December 2023. The 24-year-old was scheduled to make the first defence of her belt against Zapotoczna in September 2024, but a shoulder injury forced the fight to be postponed.

Zapotoczna earned her shot at Watson’s European title with an impressive victory over the previously unbeaten Maisey Rose Courtney. Born in Poland but based in Wakefield, the 30-year-old will be looking to upset another of Britain’s top prospects following her unanimous decision win over Courtney.

Watson, undefeated in her eight professional contests, is trained by British boxing legend Ricky Hatton. She boxes on Sky Sports for the second time having outpointed Gemma Reugg at the Utilita Arena in Newcastle in 2022.

The 24-year-old from Birkenhead is looking forward to fighting on the undercard of fellow Merseyside boxer Natasha Jonas, who inspired Watson to start boxing when visiting her school after the London 2012 Olympics.

Chloe Watson said: “I think Jasmina is a good fighter, but it’s a very dangerous time to be fighting me and I’ll be looking to put on my best performance yet come March 7th and what a platform and show to do it on.

“It’s great to be on the same card as Tasha Jonas who was a massive role model for me growing up, coming from the same area and high school, she’s always been a big inspiration to me.”

Jasmina Zapotoczna said: “I’m honored to be part of such a historic boxing event and I can’t wait to step into the ring with Chloe. Chloe is the perfect opponent for a European title fight and I know this will be an extremely competitive battle. But that’s exactly what I expect—from myself and from a true championship fight. I’m ready to give it everything and deliver a performance to remember! This is a moment to give the audience the best version of Jasmina Zapotoczna, and I’m ready to make it unforgettable!”

Francesca Hennessy completes a star-studded line up for this landmark event as the unbeaten 20-year-old returns to action having claimed the WBA Intercontinental Title with a points win over Ana Karla Vaz De Moraes last time out at the Copper Box Arena in London. Hennessy will aim to continue her impressive run in the pro ranks against Carla Camila Campos Gonzales.

Watson vs Zapotoczna and Hennessey vs Gonzales are the final additions for BOXXER’s ‘Unstoppable’ fight night – a historic all-women’s world championship event at the Royal Albert Hall taking place on Friday March 7th as the curtain-raiser to the International Women’s Day 2025 global campaign the following day.

Headlined by the WBC, IBF, WBA and Ring Magazine World Welterweight Unification clash between Natasha Jonas and Lauren Price MBE, this iconic event will also feature Caroline Dubois defending her WBC World Lightweight Title against WBC #1 contender Bo Mi Re Shin, an exciting all-British featherweight showdown between Karriss Artingstall and Raven Chapman and the professional debut of Olympic history maker Cindy Ngamba against reigning European champion Kirstie Bavington.

This event is presented in association with official partners Betfred, That Prize Guy, Riyadh Season, Car Finance 247, Village Hotels, Hell Energy and IFX Payments.

Chloe Watson aims to cement her reputation as one of the fastest rising stars in women’s boxing when she defends the EBU European flyweight title on September 27 against Jasmina Zapotoczna.

Watson puts her belt on the line against the in-form and dangerous Zapotoczna at the world-famous York Hall in London, as part of the undercard to Charlie Edwards’ bantamweight barnstormer with Thomas Essomba.

Edwards’ brother, Sunny, manages Essomba meaning an already exciting European bantamweight title scrap also has a simmering family feud running through it.

The addition of Watson vs Zapotoczna, delivered in association with Matchroom Boxing, means it’s a night of double European title action on the latest Wasserman Boxing event, brought to you with Ladbrokes, Numan and Infinitum.

The Ricky Hatton-coached Watson had been eyeing on an all-British showdown with Maisey-Rose Courtney for her first title defence, but earlier this month Zapotoczna scored a major upset, convincingly defeating the Londoner on points, to earn her shot at the champ.

And bolstering the card further is one of British boxing’s most exciting prospects, the crowd-pleasing Tom Welland.

Welland has impressed in his opening five contests as a pro and the Essex puncher will be backed by a noisy crowd on September 27.

Chloe Watson said: “Everyone was convinced I would be making my first defence against Maisey-Rose, but Zapotoczna had other ideas and deservedly earned her shot at my European title.

“But trust me when I say, I won’t be making the same mistakes that Maisey-Rose made.  Zapotoczna is a very good fighter, that was clear for everyone to see in the way she won earlier this month, but I’m a completely different proposition.

“I’ve only had eight pro fights; I’m already European champion and I’ve only just scratched the surface on my potential.  Jasmina has never fought anyone like me.  I just hope she comes ready.”

Jasmina Zapotoczna said: “I’ve upset the odds once already this year, and I plan to do it again on September 27.

“Nobody gave me a chance against Maisey-Rose Courtney, I was written off, but I showed everyone just how good I am.

“I now have the chance to become European flyweight champion and I cannot wait.”
