Six fights are scheduled for the undercard of Natasha Jonas' bout with Mikaela Mayer at the M&S Bank Arena in Liverpool on Saturday.

They include a rematch between two rivals who have a score to settle after sharing a draw when crowds were not allowed to attend events during the Covid pandemic.

That scrap is one of two title fights, while 2020 Olympic medalist Karriss Artingstall returns to action for her fifth pro fight.

The Sporting News has the full list of undercard events, including weight divisions, records and which titles are on the line:

Natasha Jonas vs. Mikaela Mayer undercard

Jack Cullen vs. Zak Chelli

  • Division/Weight: Super middleweight
  • Cullen record: 22-4-1
  • Chelli record: 14-2-1
  • Belts at stake: British and Commonwealth

After sharing a draw in August 2020, Bolton's Cullen and Londoner Chelli - whose only defeat in his last eight bouts was a surprise decision loss to Mark Jeffers last July - meet again more than three years later.

Cullen has held the titles since his surprisingly straightforward third-round knockout of Mark Heffron in September, giving him a second win in three fights since he was stopped by Kevin Sadjo for the vacant European super-middleweight title.


Mark Jeffers vs. Germaine Brown

  • Division/Weight: Super middleweight
  • Jeffers record: 16-0
  • Brown record: 13-2
  • Belts at stake: English

Chorley fighter Jeffers' win over Chelli at Manchester Arena was his 12th on the scorecards of a perfect career so far.

Challenger Brown lost to Chelli at Wembley Arena in June 2022 in the first defeat of his career, following it up with another loss by unanimous decision to Ivan Zucco before returning to winning ways by knocking out Ashley Bailey-Dumetz last July.


Aaron McKenna vs. Mickey Ellison

  • Division/Weight: Super Middleweight
  • McKenna record: 17-0
  • Ellison record: 14-6
  • Belts at stake: N/A

Irish boxer Aaron McKenna said scheduled adversary Linus Udofia had "bottled it" when he pulled out of their fight on the card at three days' notice because of illness.

"I don't let things like this distract me – I'm well used to it," said the 24-year-old, who has had opponents withdraw days before fights in the past, adding that he did not believe Udofia was unwell and thanking organisers for their efforts to arrange a replacement. "All I can do now is focus on Saturday."

Ellison, who is used to campaigning at light heavyweight, has stepped in. Nine years McKenna's senior at 33, the Blackburn fighter won the Central Area title before losing his two most recent bouts.


Karriss Artingstall vs. Lila dos Santos Furtado

  • Division/Weight: Featherweight
  • Artingstall record: 5-0
  • Dos Santos Furtado record: 9-1
  • Belts at stake: N/A

Southpaw Artingstall won bronze at the World Championships in 2019 and repeated the result at the Olympic Games in 2020, proceeding to gain the first victory of her flawless five-bout career in 2022.

She will now face a former Latino and Brazilian champion in Dos Santos Furtado, a Sao Paulo fighter who suffered the first defeat of her 10 professional bouts with a points loss to Raven Chapman in London last August.


Jack Massey vs. Steve Eloundou Ntere

  • Division/Weight: Cruiserweight
  • Massey record: 22-2
  • Ntere record: 8-1
  • Belts at stake: N/A

The most high-profile fight of Massey's career came when he lost by unanimous decision to former WBO world heavyweight champion Joseph Parker - who most recently beat Deontay Wilder - on the undercard of the first fight between Chris Eubank Jr and Liam Smith last June.

The 30-year-old held the IBO cruiserweight title between 2021 and 2022, and he now takes on a Cameroon-born Belgian with eight wins to his name and one defeat – in his most recent outing, a decision loss to Michael Seitz for the IBO European title.


Mikie Tallon vs. Adam Yahaya

  • Division/Weight: Flyweight
  • Tallon record: 6-2
  • Yahaya record: 23-11
  • Belts at stake: N/A

Prospect Tallon is a Liverpudlian who gained international experience when he fought at the 2022 EUBC European Youth Championships Preliminaries.

The 19-year-old fan of Premier League club Everton is managed by Jonas and guided by storied trainer Joe Gallagher.


Ste Clarke vs. TBC

  • Division/Weight: Super middleweight
  • Cullen record: Debut
  • Belts at stake: N/A

Professional debutant Clarke is another local prospect and has benefited from the wisdom of two of the most successful fighters to have come from Liverpool.

His manager is former world title challenger Paul Smith Jr., while his trainer, Stephen Smith, is one of Paul's younger boxing brothers who also competed at top level.
