Jonas had wanted a rematch but her attention has since turned elsewhere.
Stefy Bull, Harper’s trainer and manager, told the Free Press: “Eddie (Hearn, Harper’s promoter at Matchroom Boxing) made Team Jonas a substantial offer to fight Terri for undisputed but at the minute they are just saying ‘No’.
"She (Jonas) has had close to half a million pounds. It’s massive money.”

Speaking to Sky Sports earlier this week, Jonas said: “They are saying I’ve been given this huge offer. It might be a huge offer to Terri and Matchroom but compared to the other offers that are on the table now it’s not huge.”
Her trainer, Joe Gallagher, added: "There’s been too much damage done by that side of the party in the past with Natasha and how they have treated Natasha for that fight to ever happen again.”
Harper is back in training ahead of a fight against a different, as yet unnamed opponent, in January.
