Katie Taylor puts her undisputed lightweight titles on the line once again against Karen Elizabeth Carabajal in London tonight.
It is back to more routine business this evening for the ‘Bray Bomber’, who celebrated a career-best night by outpointing unified featherweight champion Amanda Serrano in the biggest fight in women’s boxing history at an electric Madison Square Garden back in April.
With dreams of a high-profile rematch at Dublin’s Croke Park on hold for now, Taylor must refocus for what is expected to be a comfortable seventh defence of all the 135lbs belts at Wembley Arena, scene of her first professional bout against Karina Kopinska and her dominant defeat of Miriam Gutierrez in November 2020.
Few give Carabajal - who has spent a lot of time campaigning at super-featherweight - a puncher’s chance in her maiden world title fight as she competes outside of her native Argentina for the first time, but an unblemished 19-0 record nevertheless commands respect as she looks to spring a huge upset and deny Ireland’s fighting pride her dream homecoming.
