However, many boxing fans felt that Jonas did enough to dethrone Harper. Nevertheless, Thanderz paid no attention to the criticism and stated she is expecting the best version of Harper in their upcoming fight.

Now, Mayer has reacted to Thanderz’s statement and lauded the undefeated boxer ahead of her first title opportunity. The former Olympian and current WBO super-featherweight champion could be looking at a title unification bout against the winner of the fight and rightfully so.

Can Katharina Thanderz upset Terri Harper?

Mikaela Mayer stood tall on her trash-talk in the lead up to her championship bout against Ewa Brodnicka this past month. The former Olympian claimed she would dethrone long-reigning champion Brodnicka. She did just that as she picked up an impressive unanimous decision win over the then-undefeated boxer. Can Katharina Thanderz do the same?

She is not someone who is looking to take the life out of her opponent with a single punch. However, she is someone who likes to school her opponents to grab the victory. Needless to say, it will be easier said than done.

Terri Harper will look to prove that she is better than the comments she has been receiving ever since her last bout ended in a draw. Harper has a lot at stake right now. The winner of this fight is destined for greatness with a potential unified title shot in the near future.
