Since the loss of WBC crowns and IBO Super Feather, weighing through stopping to Alycia Baumgardner in 2021, Harper (15-2-2, 6 KO) was in an uneven form.
The 28-year-old moved to a great welterweight to take WBA and IBO belts from Hannah Rankin at points in 2022, but then he was attracted by Cecilia Braekhus in October 2023, after which he lost another attempt of the WBO Crown, withdrawing four against Sandy Ryan in March.
“Belter” returned to form six months later, scoring points with Rhiannon Dixon in Sheffield to capture the title he defends this weekend.

Doncaster’s favorite now stands in front of German Zimmermann (13-0, 3 KO), which is undefeated, but massively unverified.
The 42-year-old fought twice in 2024, both in Spain, the last victory in ten rounds with Katerina Dvorakova.
Hughes are trying with the keen
In the direction of Undercard is a delicate weight that looks like a clash, and Maxi Hughes and Archie Edged question the silver WBC title.
Hughes (28-7-2, 6 KO) had a real renaissance in the last few years and dominated in his last trip, winning all ten rounds against Gary Cully in Monaco.
Edged (25-1, 9 KO) is gaining a clear loss with Ryan Garner in July last year, which caused an raise in weight.
Gallagher meets Jones
The stake is the British titles and the community of the community of nations in Super Bantamweight, and thousands of Gallagher (9-2) should keep their lanes, winning points on Ebon Jones (6-0-1).

Other card
In the remaining ten circles, the former British featherweight champion, Reece Mold (20-3, 6 KO), can have too much experience for Lewis Sylvester (15-1, 4 KO) and can go to points to take the free title Lightweight Ibo, while James Flint (15-2, 3 KO) may say that the same narrow strap in Super Lightweight in Super Super Lightweight may be the same by Haithem (20 Kos) from Malta).
Ellie Hellewell (6-0, 1 KO) can go ten distance for the first time, winning cards against Stevi Levy (13-3, 1 KO).
The only eight round is in a great welterweight, where Joe Hayden (17-0, 1 KO) can register the victory of points over Lewis Booth (16-1).
In six professional rounds, TAZ NADEEM (5-0, 3 KO) should win with a distance against Bahadur punishments (4-29-4, 1 KO) in Super Middle Libra, and FEATHER in weight Edward Hardy (3-0, 2 KO) can do the same against Darwing Martinez (8-31-2, 6 KOS).
The Super Welter perspective in weight, Amaar Akbar (8-0, 1 KO) should win points against Jake Smith (1-30-2), and Ted Jackson (3-0, 1 KO) can also win points against Kristaps Zulgis (8-57-3, 4 KO) in the middle weight.
In Super Welter, Jamie Mellers (7-1) should be another winner on cards against Cameron Kaihau (9-1).

On Wednesday, Lewis Crocker heads to Australia to defend his IBF welterweight world title against Liam Paro for the first time.
Crocker will face Paro at the Pat Rafter Arena in Queensland, live on DAZN in the UK and Kayo Sports in Australia.
Crocker (22-0, 11 KO) became world champion in September, defeating Paddy Donovan twice before winning the rematch by split decision.
Man from Belfast recorded his second victory over Donovan after the first victory in March last year, and his rival was disqualified for hitting him after the bell.
Paro (27-1, 16 KO) is trying to become a world champion in two weight categories, having previously reigned in the super-lightweight division.

The 30-year-old won the title with a unanimous decision victory over Subriel Matias in Puerto Rico before winning the belt in his first defense against Richardson Hitchins.
The Australian has since won twice, overtaking David Papot in his last appearance in September.

McKean meets Taliva
Heavyweight Demsey McKean will look to continue his rebuild when he faces Liam Talivaa for the vacant IBF Pan Pacific title.
McKean (24-2, 16 KO) had his career cut miniature after a last-round loss to Filip Hrgovic, followed by a brutal first-round loss to Moses Itauma.
The 35-year-old southpaw returned to winning ways with back-to-back stoppage victories.
Talivaa (8-2, 4 KO) last won the IBF Oceania-Orient title, defeating Faiga Opelu by first-round stoppage.
Undercard remaining
At cruiserweight, Luke Modini (13-0, 11 KO) will likely need distance to beat Peng Qu (17-2-1, 12 KO), while Riley Candy (8-1, 5 KO) could stop Nathan Watson (11-3, 3 KO) at super middleweight.
Vegas Larfield (13-1, 9 KO) can hand Shamal Ram Anuj (11-8, 8 KO) his fourth defeat in a row in a featherweight clash.
Heavyweight Nelson Asofa-Solomon (2-0, 2 KO) can secure a third straight knockout over debutant George Burgess, and Stevan Ivic (8-0-1, 2 KO) can do the same against Caleb Tialu (3-7, 3 KO), also a heavyweight.
Prospective super welterweight fighter Jack Javed (1-0) should overtake Lance McDonald (1-5-1, 1 KO).
