One of the sport's leading attractions will enter her second straight fight behind closed doors. Irish superstar Katie Taylor (16-0, 6KOs) attempts the ninth defense of at least one lightweight title, as she faces mandatory challenger Miriam Gutierrez. Their bout tops a one-of-a-kind show featuring three women's title fights, taking place Saturday evening at Wembley's SSE Arena in London, England.
Taylor-a two-time Olympian and 2012 Olympic Gold medalist who made her pro debut in this very venue in 2016-hit the scale at a combat ready 134.5 pounds for the bout, which also serves as her second lineal and undisputed lightweight championship defense. Madrid's Gutierrez (13-0, 5KOs) checked in at 134.4 pounds for her first career title fight.
The event comes less than three months after Bray, Ireland's Taylor again turned away a stiff challenge from Belgium's Delfine Persoon. Their fiercely contested war saw the two-division and reigning lightweight queen earn a 10-round decision in a repeat win on August 22 in Brentwood, England.
