Natasha Jonas targeting two undisputed champions within the next 12 months claims promoter
Watch Stanionis vs. Ortiz live on DAZN on July 8
Natasha Jonas became a two-weight world champion on Saturday night after stopping Kandi Wyatt in the eighth round to become the IBF women's world welterweight champion.
With Jonas now holding world titles at both welterweight and light middleweight, her promoter Ben Shalom wants to see the Liverpool fighter take on Chantelle Cameron and Katie Taylor, who are both undisputed champions at super lightweight and lightweight respectively, within the next 12 months.
"She's won multiple world titles. Now she can fight at the weight divisions that I'm most excited about. We get to welterweight, she wins her first world title, now she can look at the big names," Shalom told BBC Sport.
"At welterweight you've got Sandy Ryan and Jess McCaskill. Where she's looking at is the super-lightweight division: Chantelle Cameron and Katie Taylor.
"I'm excited for her because she deserves those names and I hope to be able to deliver that in the next 12 months."
