Rhiannon Dixon’s world-title defence against Terri Harper has been rearranged for 28 September in Sheffield.

The lightweight bout was originally scheduled for 23 August in Manchester, but that event at the Co-op Live was cancelled after an injury to headliner Jack Catterall.

The fight has now been moved to the undercard of Dalton Smith’s European lightweight title bout against Jon Fernandez at the Sheffield Arena.

WBO champion Dixon confirmed the rescheduling on Instagram.

Dixon, 29, is undefeated in 10 fights and will make a first defence of the world title she won in April.

Harper, 27, is a multiple-weight world champion with 14 wins, two losses and two draws on her impressive record.

But the Doncaster fighter has had mixed fortunes in her most recent bouts, drawing with Cecilia Braekhus in a light-middleweight unification fight last October before suffering a stoppage loss to WBO champion Sandy Ryan at welterweight in March.

Dixon is one of two currently undefeated world champions from England alongside WBA featherweight champion Nick Ball.
