It is time for the first big night for female boxing in 2024 and Natasha Jonas will try to defend her newly acquired IBF Welterweight title against Mikaela Mayer. Here are all the Jonas vs Mayer odds.
Boxing Odds: The Best Jonas vs Mayer Odds
Despite her unenviable age, Natasha Jonas enters this contest as the betting favorite. She won her title in July 2023 in her debut fight at welterweight. This is truly a curious matchup as both fighters have achieved much in multiple weight classes.
Mikaela Mayer began her career at super featherweight and in different periods held the WBO, IBF, and The Ring titles. After she lost the belts to Alycia Baumgardner in a unification bout in 2022, she moved to lightweight and won the WBC interim title. And immediately after that, she decided to move up even more and fight at welterweight.
The situation is similar when we look at Natasha’s boxing record. In the past, she has fought for super-featherweight titles, for Katie Taylor’s lightweight titles, she won the WBO junior-middleweight and the WBC super-welterweight titles in separate bouts in 2022. She then won the IBF light-middleweight title and the IBF welterweight title in her last couple of matches. She is an absolute legend of the sport.
Jonas vs Mayer Odds – Moneyline
As mentioned above, Natasha Jonas is entering this contest as the betting favorite although the gap is not big. She is 39 years old but will fight in her hometown of Liverpool. The current moneyline odds are -125 for her and +100 for Mayer.
Boxing Odds – Jonas vs Mayer Method of Victory

• Jonas to win via Decision or Technical Decision: +105

Clearly, bookmakers expect a decision, and even the odds for the draw are surprisingly low. We would like to remind you that Natasha Jonas already had one draw in 2020 when she fought for Terri Harper’s WBC and IBO super-featherweight titles.
