IBF belted Dicaire (18-1-0, 1 KOs) will attempt to topple Jonas (12-2-1, 8 KOs), who owns the WBC, WBO crowns and The Ring Magazine, in front of his audience. The group’s protégé, Yvon Michel, will certainly want to do better than their other unification duel: she lost by unanimous decision to American Claressa Shields on March 5, 2021. She has since defeated Mexico’s Cynthia Lozano on December 17 to regain his vacant IBF title.
Jonas has won his last three bouts and added the WBC belt to his name by defeating Patricia Berghult by unanimous decision on September 3rd.
Also, Canadian Mary Spencer, who is part of the boxing group Eye of the Tiger Management, will have to wait before challenging Dicaire. In recent weeks, she has openly wished for a clash with the GYM athlete.
